Condition: Fetal Distress · Sponsor: Universidad Nacional Autonoma de Honduras
This is a single-blind, randomized, parallel-group, superiority clinical trial. The study aims to determine whether a single intake of 30g of dark chocolate (≥80% cocoa) by pregnant women with a non-reactive fetal non-stress test (NST) increases the conversion rate to a reactive NST within 20 minutes, compared to observation with a sugar-free white chocolate placebo. A total of 190 singleton pregnant women at 36-41 weeks gestation with a non-reactive NST will be recruited at the Hospital General San Felipe, Tegucigalpa, Honduras. Participants will be randomly assigned to either the intervention group (dark chocolate) or the control group (placebo). The primary outcome is the proportion of NSTs that become reactive. Secondary outcomes include changes in specific cardiotocographic parameters, total monitoring time, need for additional tests, and maternal satisfaction.
