Shear wave elastography is the new imaging test that could help predict the success of labor induction. In the future, ultrasonic assessment of the cervix may replace manual assessment in providing more objective and precise information on the condition of the cervix.
Pain Management During Labor
The labor pain or pain of childbirth is considered as the one of the most severe types of pain. It was in the mid- nineteenth century the pharmacologic management of labor pain was introduced.

A study published in Acta Obstetricia et Gynecologica Scandinavica has demonstrated an effective way to predict such cases. The strategy assesses the stiffness of the cervix before labor is induced, using an imaging technique called shear wave elastography.
The method was tested in 475 women, 17.3% of whom required an emergency cesarean section.
