About this trial

This interventional study evaluates whether video-based patient education regarding Trial of Labor After Cesarean (TOLAC) reduces maternal anxiety compared with standard verbal counseling. Pregnant women eligible for TOLAC will be randomized to receive either a structured educational video or routine verbal counseling.
