Health condition(s) or problem(s) studiedPregnancy and childbirth: Childbirth
InterventionNot provided at time of registration
Intervention typeOther
Primary outcome measureA scientific evaluation of a widely introduced but as yet unproven labour intervention. It will look at the health gain in terms of any subsequent psychological dysfunction. The effects of the different interventions on the Caesarean Section Rates is another primary outcome measure. Any reduction in the Caesarean Section Rate is likely to have economic benefit to the NHS in terms of cost reduction.
