Study Summary
Use an electrical-inhibition (EI)/uterine pacemaker device similar to an electrical heart pacemaker to deliver a weak electrical current to the human uterus that will rapidly and safely inhibit the unwanted premature uterine contractions of preterm birth.
Primary Outcome
The first 20 minutes are the control contraction period (C1). The second 20 minutes are the EI period, with a 10-second burst of current administered just prior to each expected contraction; expected contractions are determined by the timing of the C1 contractions and/or by the rise of the subjective tocodynamometer tracing above baseline levels. The third 20 minutes is the post-intervention control contraction period (C2).
