What this Trial Is About
Researchers are evaluating the effectiveness of membrane stripping compared to double balloon catheter induction for cervical ripening in women undergoing labor induction. The study aims to determine if membrane stripping is as effective as balloon induction and to assess its impact on the time needed for cervical ripening, delivery duration, and maternal and fetal outcomes. Participants are divided into three groups one group will have a double balloon catheter inserted for 12 hours, another will undergo membrane stripping twice every 4-6 hours over 12 hours, and the third group will receive a vaginal PGE2 pessary for 12-24 hours. These treatments are being studied to compare their effects on cervical ripening. During the study, researchers will monitor the rates of successful cervical ripening after 12 hours and track the duration of cervical ripening until discharge or up to 150 hours. They will also observe rates of vaginal delivery within 24 hours. Participants will be assessed continuously to evaluate maternal and fetal outcomes throughout the process.
