Propanolol Induction Delivery Oxytocin Labour Induction

ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying the effects of a medication called Propranolol on the time it takes for labor to progress when using another medication called oxytocin to induce labor. Inducing labor is sometimes necessary to ensure a safe delivery, but it can lead to longer labor times, which may cause complications for both the mother and the baby. The researchers want to see if taking Propranolol can help speed up the delivery process and make it easier for women who are being induced.

To participate in this trial, women must be pregnant with a single baby in the right position for delivery. However, some women will not be eligible, such as those who have certain medical conditions, are on beta blockers, or have experienced complications like preterm labor or bleeding. The trial is not yet recruiting participants, but once it starts, those who qualify will be closely monitored to see how Propranolol affects their labor experience. This study aims to provide more information about Propranolol's role in improving labor outcomes for women.
