Objective: To compare the efficacy for Dinoprostone, intracervical foleys and misoprostol in labor trial regarding effects on cervical ripening, mode of delivery, induction to delivery interval and maternal complications i.e. tachysystole and postpartum haemorrhage.
Design: Randomized clinical trial.
Place And Duration Of Study: Hamdard University Hospital and Patel Hospital between July 2004-June 2005.
Patients And Methods: Randomized trial was conducted such that group-A received Dinoprostone at 6 hourly intervals upto two doses. Group-B was induced with intracervical foley catheter. Group-C received 50 micro g oral misoprostol 4 hourly to a maximum of four doses. Cervical ripening, induction to delivery time interval, mode of delivery and maternal morbidity were main outcome measures. Test of proportions was used to compare the significance between the managements.
Results: In 226 cases, 219 (97%) were successfully induced while 7(3%) did not respond the labour induction. The rates of caesarean section in dinoprostone, intracervical foley and misoprostol were 14.7%, 14.1% and 12.3%, respectively, however, this difference was insignificant among three groups (p=0.911). Rate of earlier response (< or = 12 hours) to labor induction among three groups was insignificant (3.8% vs 4% and 13.7% respectively, p=0.125). Marginal significance of higher rate of complications was observed in those patients who were given misoprostol (p=0.08).
Conclusion: In this series, all three agents were equally effective in terms of cervical ripening, induction-delivery interval, mode of delivery and maternal complications.

Objective This study sought to evaluate the safety and efficacy of mifepristone as a uterine sensitizer in shortening induction to delivery time in term pregnancy. Study design A prospective study was carried out on primigravida with a singleton term pregnancy, cephalic presentation, 37 to 41 weeks gestation, Bishop score ≤6, and consented to the study. A total of 116 participants were divided into two groups by random computer-generated sequence.

Background Labor induction, a common practice to prevent maternal and fetal complications from prolonged labor, involves stimulating contractions before they begin naturally. This can be achieved through medications, mechanical methods, or surgical interventions. Cervical ripening is crucial for successful delivery.

To compare effectiveness and safety of the Cook's balloon with vaginal dinoprostone to induce labor in patients with previous cesarean section. Observational, and retrospective study that included pregnant women at ≥ 37 weeks' gestation, with unfavorable cervix, singleton pregnancy, intact membranes, and a previous cesarean section, who had undergone labor induction in the period 2014-2019. 170 patients (86 balloon-84 dinoprostone) were analyzed.

This review assessed the efficacy and safety of pharmacologic agents (prostaglandins, oxytocin, mifepristone, hyaluronidase, and nitric oxide donors) and mechanical methods (single- and double-balloon catheters, laminaria, membrane stripping, and amniotomy) and those generally considered under the rubric of complementary medicine (castor oil, nipple stimulation, sexual intercourse, herbal medicine, and acupuncture). A substantial body of published reports, including 2 large network meta-analyses, support the safety and efficacy of misoprostol (PGE1) when used for cervical ripening and labor induction. Misoprostol administered vaginally at doses of 50 μg has the highest probability of achieving vaginal delivery within 24 hours.

Purpose: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of transdermal glycerol trinitrate skin patches as an additive and effective agent for facilitating cervical ripening for labour induction.
Methods: This was a double-blinded prospective randomised clinical trial carried out in a major obstetric unit in India. Women who planned for labour induction were randomly allocated for induction either by combined application of glycerol trinitrate skin patches [GTN patch] and intracervical dinoprostone gel or by the gel only.
