The MOBY Study: Efficacy of Birth Mobility
Sponsor: Vibwife AG
Summary
This randomized clinical trial investigates whether and how maternal mobility during labor influences birth outcomes in primiparous women. The study compares standard obstetric care with care that includes a birth mobility system. The primary aim is to assess whether the system helps reduce secondary cesarean section rates. Secondary objectives include evaluation of labor progression, medication use, newborn health, and user satisfaction. Participation occurs during birth and includes the collection of routine clinical data and a short questionnaire afterward.
