Official title
Weighted Bag Versus Inner Thigh Taping for Cervical Ripening With a Foley Catheter Prior to an Induction of Labor
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
This study aims to determine what type of traction, weighted bag or inner thigh taping, on foley catheters for cervical ripening results in a greater cervical dilation and shorter length of labor. The primary outcomes are post-ripening dilation of 3 cm or more and time to delivery. The secondary outcomes are patient pain/comfort rating and method of delivery. The investigators hypothesize that the use a weighted bag will result in a 20% increase in post-ripening dilation of at least 3 cm and a shorter average length of labor.
