      <study_design>Randomization: Randomized, Blinding: Double blinded, Placebo: Used, Assignment: Parallel, Purpose: Treatment, Randomization description: To determine the allocation sequence, 3 and 6 blocking methods with 1: 1 allocation ratio are used. After listing almost all possible states of the blocks and assigning a number to each of them, the assignment sequence will be determined using a computer random number table (using WWW.Randomizer.org). The randomization list is prepared by a statistician. To conceal the type of intervention, it is written on paper and numbered in a series of sealed opaque matte envelopes. By attending the study hospital, the researcher will open an envelope for each research sample in the order of their numbers and the type of intervention will be determined, Blinding description: Placebo is used in the same shape and packaging as magnesium sulfate gel. Pregnant women and medical staff are kept unaware of the type of treatment provided.</study_design>

      <i_freetext>Intervention 1: Intervention group: The first group receives magnesium sulfate vaginal gel containing 6 grams of magnesium sulfate prepared by the Industrial Laboratory of the Faculty of Pharmacy, Ahvaz Jundishapur University of Medical Sciences. Participants receive the gel as soon as they are admitted and all participants are examined 4 hours later. If there is no change, another dose of the same intervention is performed and re-examined 4 hours later. Intervention 2: Intervention group: The second group receives magnesium sulfate vaginal gel containing 4 grams of magnesium sulfate prepared by the Industrial Laboratory of the Faculty of Pharmacy, Ahvaz Jundishapur University of Medical Sciences. Participants receive the gel as soon as they are admitted and all participants are examined 4 hours later. If there is no change, another dose of the same intervention is performed and re-examined 4 hours later. Intervention 3: Control group: The third group received a placebo containing the same materials used in magnesium sulfate vaginal gel except magnesium sulfate in a similar shape and package prepared by the Industrial Laboratory of the Faculty of Pharmacy, Ahvaz Jundishapur University of Medical Sciences. Participants receive the gel as soon as they are admitted and all participants are examined 4 hours later. If there is no change, another dose of the same intervention is performed and re-examined 4 hours later.</i_freetext>
