Active clinical trials for "Obstetric Labor, Premature"

A randomized controlled double blinded study included 200 women with preterm contractions. After successful arrest of contractions women were randomized into 2 equal groups: GI women received nifedipine 20 mg tablets twice daily and GII women received Ritodrine 5 mg tablets every 6 hours. The primary outcome was gestational age at delivery and the secondary outcomes include episodes of recurrent preterm labor, mode of delivery, maternal side effects and neonatal outcome

The purpose of this study is to compare how well vaginal progesterone works delaying the time to delivery in women with preterm labor compared to placebo. The study will also compare the effect of vaginal progesterone on neonatal outcomes, rate of spontaneous preterm delivery, cervical length and biomarkers of preterm delivery in women diagnosed with and treated with medication to stop preterm labor.

The antioxidant effect of N-Acetyl cysteine can abort the inflammatory cascade responsible for initiation of preterm labour especially among patients with reccurent preterm birth and patients having bacterial vaginosis

The objective of this study is to investigate the effect of the use of both sonographic cervical length (CL) and fetal fibronectin (FFN) on the length of outpatient triage and preterm labor interventions in symptomatic women with intact membranes. We performed a randomized trial of the use of transvaginal ultrasound cervical length and fetal fibronectin in women being evaluated for suspected PTL at a gestational age between 24 and 33 weeks 6 days. Women are randomized to either a standard (blinded) or a protocol arm. Women in the standard arm are evaluated without the results of the CL and FFN while women in the protocol arm are evaluated using the results of the CL and FFN and managing physicians are asked to follow a specific PTL algorithm to determine a women's eligibility for treatment. The primary outcome is length of stay in the triage area before discharge.

The goal of our research will be to determine the effectiveness of 17 alpha-hydroxyprogesterone caproate (17P) in the treatment of preterm delivery. Treatment with progesterone is emerging as the standard of care for prevention of preterm delivery in asymptomatic patients at high risk for preterm birth due to a prior preterm delivery. Our goal is to evaluate whether or not progesterone is also effective in reducing preterm birth in symptomatic patients.

The study is to evaluate the accuracy of a test device called "PAMG-1" to see if a pregnant women has ruptured membranes in comparison to standardly used testing methods.

One of the important complications of pregnancy is preterm labor (PTL) and delivery. There are different tocolytic agents to enhance the time of delivery. The aim of this study was to compare the effect of transdermal nitroglycerin (glyceryl trinitrate, GTN) and oral nifedipine for managing preterm labor. This was a randomized clinical trial in women admitted with diagnosis of PTL. Group one have received transdermal GTN whereas group two have received oral nifedipine, vital signs, FHR, contractions, dilation and effacement as well as gestation age at the time of delivery have been monitored and evaluated in both groups of patient. Our main goal has been delay of delivery to have the most beneficial effect of primary corticosteroid administration for fetus.

This is a two part study. Part A of the study will evaluate the metabolites of GSK221149 following single and repeat oral dosing and will also assess the pharmacokinetics of GSK221149 when administered with a potent CYP3A4 inhibitor Ketoconazole. Part B of the study will look at the pharmacokinetics of GSK221149 following a high fat meal.

The aim of this study is to investigate the In Vitro and In Vivo effect of progesterone on immature myeloid cells (IMC), inflammation characteristics and maturation into dendritic cells (DC).

Objective: It is aimed to examine the effect of facilitated tucking after vaginal delivery on late preterm stress, comfort and physiological parameters. Design: The study was designed randomized controlled study. Setting: The study was conducted spontaneous vaginal delivery of late preterm at State Hospital between January-June 2020. Participants: In order to determine the sample size of the study, power analysis was performed using the G*Power (v3.1, 7) program, and a total of 60 preterm were sampled, facilitated tucking (n=30) and control group (n=30). Methods: In the study, Newborn Information and Registration Form, Neonatal Comfort Behavior Scale (NCBS) and Newborn Stress Scale (NSS) were used. As for physiological parameters, for the temperature is used private digital thermometer, for the saturation and heart rate is used device preferred in hospital routine and lastly the respirator rate is clocked by nurses.
