About this study

Analysis of monitored clinically parameters during the course of labor is a seldom studied area in Taiwan and worldwide. Important monitored parameters include, fetal heartbeat, uterine contractions, oxygen saturation and blood pressure, among others.1 During labor, uterine contractions can cause pain.3 This pain may be measured using a visual analogue scale (VAS).2 The pain from uterine contractions promotes the release of hormones including cortisol which can cause decreased or irregular contractions and possibly prolong labor.3 This study aims to study the association between monitored clinical parameters and pain in women in Taiwan during labor in order to increase the understanding to safe childbirth.

Read the detailed description

This is a prospective, observational study to measure and collect and physical parameters from females at least 20 years of age in the labor room. Collection of measurements and physical parameters will begin when the subject enrolls in the study. Besides, ECG and SpO2 will be recorded continuously until the end of the study period. In addition, uterus contraction cycle and fetal heart beat will be recorded during the study period based on standard of care in the labor room. Pain will be recorded on a visual analogue scale (VAS) at baseline and when the caregiver perceives that there is a change in the subject's pain status until the end of the study period. The time of each assessment of pain on VAS should be recorded. Subjects will be withdrawn from the study if they have a cesarean section or any complication during labor in the opinion of the investigator. Subject participation in the study will end when eight hours have elapsed since baseline, the subject leaves the labor room or the subject delivers the baby.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. To detect the association between labor pain and related physical parameters during labor progression

    Collection of measurements and physical parameters will begin when the subject enrolls in the study. Besides, ECG and SpO2 will be recorded continuously until the end of the study period.

Pain will be recorded on a visual analogue scale (VAS) at baseline and when the caregiver perceives that there is a change in the subject's pain status until the end of the study period. The time of each assessment of pain on VAS should be recorded. Subjects will be withdrawn from the study if they have a cesarean section or any complication during labor in the opinion of the investigator.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 4 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 1 Oct 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Taiwan. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

To detect the association between labor pain and related physical parameters during labor progression (time frame: Eight hours have elapsed since baseline or the subject leaves the labor room or the subject delivers the baby). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT04461704, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 1 Oct 2020.
