Protocol summary

Study aim
Comparison of the effectiveness of local administration of magnesium sulfate in the latent phase of labor on the improvement of effacement, dilatation, and duration of labor in primiparous and multiparous women
Design
The clinical trial has a control group, with parallel groups, double-blind, randomized, phase 3, which will be conducted on 75 women admitted in the delivery room of Ayatollah Mousavi Hospital in Zanjan. People will be assigned to two intervention groups and one control group using a random sampling method of 6 blocks.
Settings and conduct
The setting is the delivery room of Ayatollah Mousavi Hospital in Zanjan. The samples will be allocated to two intervention groups and one control group by a random block method of 6. The intervention group will receive ten cc of 50% magnesium sulfate in the latent phase of labor. Distilled water will be used for the placebo group with the same prescription. The study will be double-blind.

Randomization description
Eligible people will be selected during regular visits and then will be assigned to two intervention groups and one control group using a random sampling method of 6 blocks. For this purpose, blocks of 6 will be selected using a table of random numbers so that the sample size reaches 75 people. Blocking will be done by a person not involved in sampling. Each of the generated random sequences will be recorded on a card and the cards will be placed in the envelopes. Finally, the lids of the envelopes will be glued and placed inside a box. At the start of the intervention to identify the order of the participants, one of the envelopes will be opened in order and the assigned group of that participant will be revealed.
Blinding (investigator's opinion)
Double blinded
Blinding description
The study will be double-blind. Pregnant women and the person controlling the progress of labor and delivery will not know about the grouping and type of intervention. Examinations and registration of labor progress in the latent phase will be done and recorded every 4 hours by a research associate.
