Condition: Reflexology · Labor Induction · Extra Amniotic Balloon · Sponsor: Wolfson Medical Center
This prospective, randomized controlled trial evaluates the effect of reflexology on maternal anxiety, labor duration, and pain in women undergoing labor induction with an extra-amniotic balloon (EAB). Eligible participants are women with a singleton, term pregnancy, cephalic presentation, intact membranes, and a Bishop score \<6, without prior cesarean delivery or contraindications to vaginal delivery. Participants will be randomized to two groups: an intervention group receiving reflexology by a certified practitioner following EAB placement, and a control group receiving standard care. Maternal anxiety will be assessed using the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) before and after the intervention. Labor duration and pain scores will also be recorded. The study plans to enroll 84 participants over two years. Reflexology is a safe, non-invasive complementary therapy, and this study aims to determine whether it provides measurable benefits during labor induction.
