Condition(s) studied

Induction of Childbirth

Investigational drug(s) / intervention(s)

Cook® double-balloon catheter

Cook® double-balloon catheter: For both arms, the same double-balloon device is used. After the allocated time (3h or 12h) or spontaneous expulsion, active labor management is initiated, including early amniotomy and/or oxytocin administration

Study summary

This study aims to demonstrate that a 3-hour ultra-short cervical ripening protocol using a double-balloon catheter significantly reduces the induction-to-birth interval by at least 6 hours compared to the standard 12-hour protocol. The study evaluates whether this reduction can be achieved without increasing cesarean section rates or maternal-fetal risks
