Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Dystocia is the most common indication for primary cesarean section. The most common cause of dystocia is uterine dysfunction. In all cephalopelvic disproportion studies, more attention is usually paid on fetus and pelvic rather than on the role of uterine contraction in delivery. So we decided to determine the relationship between dystocia and uterine contraction patterns.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

the shape and frequency of uterine contractions in delivery

Uterine contractions were recorded by using fetal monitoring system (Model FC1400) at the beginning of the active phase (cervical dilatation 3-4 cm) for 30 min in two groups.

No interventions assigned to this group
