This study investigates whether a carbohidrate solution formulation containing improves maternal and neonatal outcomes compared to an other.\n\nA total of 142 term, low-risk pregnant women will be recruited at a single hospital center and randomized to receive either the sports gel or the control beverage. The intervention will begin 60 minutes after epidural analgesia and be repeated every 3 hours until delivery, with a maximum of 4 units administered per participant.\n\nThe primary objective is to obtain preliminary estimates of the intervention effects on labor duration and obstetric and neonatal outcomes. Secondary outcomes include cardiotocography patterns, maternal and neonatal glucose levels, postpartum hemorrhage, vomiting episodes, and maternal satisfaction.\n\nThis trial was prospectively registered. The study was initially conceived as a pilot randomized controlled trial within an institutional research framework, and registration was completed after participant recruitment had been completed to ensure transparency and adherence to international reporting standards.\n\nThe results of this pilot study will inform the design of a future large-scale randomized controlled trial.",[88],"Obstetric Labor",[90,91,92,93,94,95],"Maternal Outcomes","Labor Outcomes","Epidural Analgesia","oral carbohydrate supplementation","Dietary Supplements","maternal energy intake","2026-08-01",{"date":98,"type":99},"2026-08-04","ACTUAL",{"date":101,"type":99},"2025-09-01",{"date":96,"type":82},{"name":5,"class":6},1]
