Early Diagnosis and Intervention for Fetal Malposition in Active Labor and Its Impact on Mode of Delivery
NCT05881629
This study is recruiting at 1 US site in 1 state, according to its ClinicalTrials.gov record last updated .
Summary
The goal of this randomized trial is to test if changing a person's position in labor can increase the chances of delivering their baby vaginally. Specifically, it aims to answer the questions: In fetuses who are facing upwards (occiput posterior, OP) or sideways (occiput transverse, OT) during labor, does changing the patient's position during active labor to a side-lying posture with a peanut ball increase the chances of them having a successful, spontaneous vaginal delivery? Does changing the patient's position in active labor affect the position of the baby at the time of delivery?
