An interventional study of Membrane sweeping in Post-Term Pregnancy, sponsored by Muhammad Aamir Latif. Not yet recruiting at 1 site in Pakistan. Open to female participants aged 18 Years to 40 Years. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2025-04-29.
Sponsored by Muhammad Aamir Latif · Not applicable, Interventional, and Treatment
The study is planned to fill the gaps regarding the effectiveness of sweeping of membranes versus expectant management in terms of spontaneous onset of labor and vaginal delivery in post-date primigravida.
This study is important as it provides localized data on the effectiveness and practicality of membrane sweeping in a low-resource setting, which is underrepresented in current literature. Potential benefits of this research may include reduced need for formal labor induction, lower healthcare costs, and improved maternal and neonatal outcomes. The findings may enhance clinical practices by offering an evidence-based, patient-friendly approach to managing postdate pregnancies, particularly in resource-limited settings where induction facilities are constrained.
30 studies on the registry are indexed under Pregnancy, Prolonged; 2 are open to participants now.
This study's planned enrollment of 132 is close to the median of 132 across 23 interventional studies indexed under Pregnancy, Prolonged.

Exclusion Criteria:
Participants in the membranes sweeping group will receive membrane sweeping. If labor will not initiate within 48 hours, the procedure will be repeated up to a maximum of three times at 48-hour intervals.
Procedure: Membrane sweeping
Women in the expectant management group will receive no mechanical intervention, and these women will be monitored according to the standard protocol until spontaneous labor onset or labor induction will be deemed necessary.
Participants in the membranes sweeping group will receive membrane sweeping. If labor will not initiate within 48 hours, the procedure will be repeated up to a maximum of three times at 48-hour intervals.
Spontaneous onset of labor and vaginal delivery
The occurrence of regular uterine contractions (contractions occurring every 3-5 minutes, each lasting 30-60 seconds, and progressively increasing in intensity) leading to cervical changes without any form of labor induction will mark the achievement of spontaneous onset of labor.
Time frame: 6 days
