Randomized Controlled Trial: Cervical Ripening Balloon With and Without Oxytocin for Cervical Ripening in Multiparas
Study Purpose: The purpose of this study is to determine the optimal method for induction of
labor in multiparous women who present with an unfavorable cervix.
Hypothesis: Our hypothesis is that using oxytocin while the cervical ripening balloon is in
place will result in more rapid labor courses, without increasing morbidity or increasing the
need for operative delivery.
