Clinical Trial: Maternal Positioning and Occipitoposterior Fetal Position

Study Status: Completed
Recruit Status: Completed
Study Type: Interventional

Official Title: Maternal Positioning to Correct Occipitoposterior Fetal Position in Labor: A Randomized Controlled Trial

Brief Summary:

The aim of the study is to evaluate the efficacy of a specific maternal position to correct fetal position in occipito-posterior during the labor.

The investigators hypothesize that the maternal position described by the Dr de Gasquet facilitate the rotation in occipito-anterior during the labor.

The calculated sample size is 438 participants (219 in each group)


Detailed Summary: Randomized clinical trial
Sponsor: University Hospital, Geneva

Current Primary Outcome: Fetal presentation after the intervention compare to control group [ Time Frame: One hour after the randomization for the study ]

Diagnosis of the fetal presentation will be measured by an ultra-sound one hour after the randomization in both groups: intervention and control


Original Primary Outcome: Same as current

Current Secondary Outcome: Maternal comfort and pain sensation [ Time Frame: During the hour after the randomization ]

Auto-administrated questionnaire to assess comfort of the maternal position and pain related to the labor, in intervention group and control group


Original Secondary Outcome: Same as current
