Protocol summary

Study aim
Comparison of the effect of misoprostol and cervical catheter with oxytocin and cervical catheter in the induction of labor
Design
This randomized double-blind clinical trial study will be performed on 50 patients undergoing induction of labor with a computer-generated randomization list with a block size of 4, with 1:1 allocation.
Settings and conduct
Term pregnant women admitted to al-Zahra and Taleghani hospitals in Tabriz who are candidates for termination of pregnancy through vaginal delivery due to various reasons are included in this study. First, we will take informed written consent and all part of the study will be explained to the patients. The treatment allocation will be placed in a sealed opaque envelope and picked up consecutively.
Participants/Inclusion and exclusion criteria
inclusion criteria: term pregnancy, indication for termination of pregnancy, Bishop Score 6 or less, singleton pregnancy, reassuring fetal heart rate, cephalic presentation, intact fetal membranes, ineffective labor contractions, primiparous women exclusion criteria: Misoprostol allergy, fever over 38 °C, history of uterine and cesarean surgery, obstetric induction for cesarean delivery, anemia and blood dyscrasia and asthma
Intervention groups
In the misoprostol and catheter group, a no.16 foley catheter is inserted into the cervix and at the same time 25 µg misoprostol is given sub-lingually and if there is no any contraction repeated every 6 hours for up to 4 doses. In the second group, the cervical catheter is inserted and induction begins with oxytocin. In both groups, the Foley catheter balloon is filled with 30 ml of distilled water.
Main outcome variables
Time needed to soften and ripen the cervix

Blinding description
The placement in each intervention or control group will be done by the sealed envelopes containing the type of intervention and the envelopes will be removed and opened consecutively, and the type of treatment will be based on its content. This will be done in such a way that the outcome assessor and the data analyzer will not know the intervention type.

Intervention groups

1

Description
Control group:Following the insertion of the Foley catheter No.16 inside the uterus and filling its bag with 30 cc of serum saline, 25 micro-gram of misoprostol tablet will be given sub-lingually and repeated every 6 hours for up to 4 doses in the absence of effective labor contractions. If spontaneous contractions occur for at least 3 contractions of 45-60 seconds within 10 minutes, the next dose will not be given. Upon dilatation of 3–4 cm, if no contraction occurs, induction will begin with high dose oxytocin (4 mili-unit per minute every 15-20 minutes will be done and this will be continued until at least 3-4 contractions of 45-60 seconds occur every 10 minutes) method.
