Intervention / Comparator Agent  
Type  Name  Details 
Intervention  Dinoprostone gel(PGF2A)  Dose-0.5mg Route of administration- Per Vaginal Frequency-6 hrs interval Duration of therapy-total 3 doses Local application of prostaglandin E2 – dinoprostone – is commonly used for cervical ripening 
Comparator Agent  Tab Mifepristone 200 mg With Dinoprostone gel(PGF2A)  Mifepristone 200 mg orally single dose. Dinoprostone gel Dose-0.5mg Route of administration- Per Vaginal Frequency-6 hrs interval Duration of therapy-total 3 doses Mifepristone/RU-486, a new class of pharmacological agent (antiprogesterone), has been developed to antagonize the action of progesterone. It is the 19 nor-steroid, which has greater affinity for progesterone receptor than does progesterone itself. It blocks the action of progesterone at the cellular level.Mifepristone also is a steroidal compound that has antiglucocorticoid and antiprogesterone properties. Progesterone stops uterine contractions, so mifepristone is used to stop the action of this hormone; thus, it induces labor or allows the pregnancy to be terminated. Mifepristone is a potential method of inducing labor in late pregnancy through its action in antagonizing progesterone, thus increasing uterine contractility and increasing the sensitivity of uterus to the action of prostaglandins.

Brief Summary  
  • The process by which the cervix becomes soft, compliant and partially dilated is termed “cervical ripening.” Cervical ripening is thought to be due to combination of biochemical, endocrinal , mechanical, and possibly inflammatory events. Cervical ripening allows the uterine contractions to effectively dilate the cervix.The goal of cervical ripening is to facilitate the process of cervical softening, effacement and dilatation, thus reducing the induction-to-delivery time. When there is an indication for induction and the cervix is unfavorable, agents for cervical ripening may be used.The two major techniques for iatrogenic cervical ripening are.Mechanical interventions, such as insertion of catheters or cervical dilators and Pharmacological such as application of cervical ripening agents (prostaglandins).Successful labour induction is related to state of the cervix. Pregnant lady with unfavorable cervix, who have not experienced cervical ripening phase prior to labour, present a great challenge with regard to induction of labour. So, Bishop’s scoring is done to see whether the cervix is favorable or not. If induction is done in an unfavorable cervix, chances of prolonged labour and chances of having cesarean section will be increased. To reduce cesarean section rate cervical ripening is done prior to induction. Local application of prostaglandin E2 – dinoprostone – is commonly used for cervical ripening.Mechanical interventions, such as insertion of catheters or cervical dilators and Pharmacological such as application of cervical ripening agents (prostaglandins).Successful labour induction is related to state of the cervix.

  • Primary outcome : Bishop score after 6 hrs of 1st dose of diniprostone gel , Induction to delivery time, mode of delivery.
  • Secondary outcome : APGAR score of neonate at birth & after 5min, PPH, hospital stay.
