About this study

Official title: Use of Single Versus Double Foley's Catheter in Pre-induction Cervical Ripening in Postdate Primigravidae

Cervical ripening should be present before labor induction, which can generally be divided into two categories: pharmacological and mechanical

Read the detailed description

With appropriate decision and timely intervention, labor induction decreases the risk of fetal and maternal morbidity and mortality. The single balloon catheter (i.e. Foley catheter [FC]) and Cook cervical ripening balloon have been the most commonly used mechanicalwith a minimal increase in risk of cesarean section.

The single balloon catheter (i.e. Foley catheter [FC]) and Cook cervical ripening balloon have been the most commonly used mechanical method.

The FC applies pressure on lower uterine segment and cervix in the direction from the uterus to the vagina.

The Cook cervical ripening balloon is composed of a cervicovaginal balloon and a uterine balloon. Its mechanism is similar to that of the Foley balloon, but it can apply pressure in two directions simultaneously, on both the external and internal os.

Although many studies have shown that the Cook cervical ripening balloon and FC have similar efficacy and safety.

They each have district advantages and disadvantages in labor induction. In addition to the cost advantage and wide avail- ability of the FC, the safety of labor induction with the FC has been proven by many studies.

However, some study have shown that the FC results in a higher pain score, and consequently, higher maternal request for cesarean section and higher cervical laceration incidence compared with the Cook cervical ripening balloon.

What is being measured

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

  1. Cervical Ripening by using Foley's Catheter

    To compare the efficacy of two mechanical devices as single and double Foley's catheter for pre-induction of labor by making cervical ripening in primigravidae whom delayed on the expected date of delivery

    Measured: from 0 hours to 4 hours after induction of labour

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing single versus double Foley's catheter in pre-induction cervical ripening in people with Post Date and Induction of Labor, run by Egymedicalpedia at 1 site in Egypt.

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 7 inclusion and 10 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 23 Aug 2022. 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 Egypt. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Contact Yousry Selim, Professor (+201024319294, elasuotyy88@gmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Cervical Ripening by using Foley's Catheter (time frame: from 0 hours to 4 hours after induction of labour). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 23 Aug 2022.
