Read the detailed description

Single-blind study conducted on 2 randomly selected groups of pregnant women carrying a single fetus (from week 37 onward). One group will receive paracetamol 1 gr I.V. prior to insertion of balloon catheter and the control group will receive 100 ml sodium chloride 0.9% I.V prior to insertion of balloon catheter.

assessment of pain during catheter balloon insertion will be assessed using visual analogue scale (VAS) instrument with scores 1 to 10.

An assessment of pain management will also be conducted using various assessment tools:

  1. Brief Pain Inventory short form (BPIsf) - before balloon insertion and at various time intervals.
  2. Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) - 1 hr. before balloon insertion and immediately upon removal of catheter.
  3. Patient Experience Questionnaire - upon transfer to delivery room.
  4. Socio-demographic Questionnaire

Additionally, obstetrics outcomes will be recorded including time from catheter to delivery, mode of delivery. these parameters will be compared between the two groups (those who recieved paracetamol versus normal saline 0.9%).
