An interventional study of sweeping the membranes and No sweeping group in Disorder of Amniotic Cavity and/or Membrane, sponsored by Huriye Ayse Parlakgumus. Completed at 1 site in Turkey. Open to female participants aged 18 Years to 42 Years, including healthy volunteers. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2011-10-07.

Sweeping the membranes in term pregnancy may shorten the cervix and reduce the time to delivery.
Cervical length will be measured in both groups. The membranes will be swept in pregnancies beyond 38 weeks by digital examination in the study group. The control group will only be examined for Bishop score. Two days later cervical length will be Measured once more.
This is the only study on the registry with Huriye Ayse Parlakgumus as lead sponsor.
Counted across the registry records on this site, refreshed daily.
Exclusion Criteria:
This group will have a sweeping of the membranes after the 38th of gestation at hospital, in order to reduce the latency period until labor. Sweeping of the membranes is done by the insertion of examiners finger between the decidua and fetal membranes and by the circular movement of the finger, the membranes are detached from the decidua.
Procedure: sweeping the membranes
This group will not have sweeping of the membranes, will only have vaginal ultrasound
Other: No sweeping group
The cervical length will be measured and the patient will be examined to determine the Bishop score. Later the the membranes will be swept.
Also known as: stripping the membranes, digital examination
Cervical length will be measured by transvaginal USG and the patient will be examined to determine the Bishop score.
Also known as: bishop score, digital examination
Cervical Shortening
Cervix 1 was measured at the sagittal plane of cervix from external to the internal os. Two days later cervix 2 was measured the same way. The cervical shortening was calculated from subtracting cervix 1 from cervix 2.
Time frame: 2days
The Duration of Latency Until Labor
The period (in days) from the last cervical measurement to the start of second phase of labor.
Time frame: 15 days
