    Cervical Ripening for Induction of Labor: Misoprostol Versus Oxytocin in Conjunction With Foley Balloon

    NCT01139801

    Sept 2009 to Mar 2010

Registry summary

Text and fields below are the sponsor's entries at ClinicalTrials.gov, shown as posted.

The purpose of this study is to specifically investigate the efficacy of an alternative pharmacologic cervical ripening agent, misoprostol, versus the standard oxytocin, as an adjunct to Foley balloon for induction of the unfavorable cervix.

Interventions

  • OxytocinDrug
  • MisoprostolDrug

Arms2

  • Active comparator

    Oxytocin

    Foley balloon placement with intravenous low dose oxytocin administration starting 2 milliunits per minute.

  • Experimental

    Misoprostol

    Misoprostol, 25 mcg, is placed intravaginally into the posterior fornix of the vagina in conjunction with Foley balloon placement
