Summary
This study aims to demonstrate that a 3-hour ultra-short cervical ripening protocol using a double-balloon catheter significantly reduces the induction-to-birth interval by at least 6 hours compared to the standard 12-hour protocol. The study evaluates whether this reduction can be achieved without increasing cesarean section rates or maternal-fetal risks
