Impact of Acupuncture on Delay of Delevery During Induced Labor With Cook's Balloon at the Beaumont Maternity in Roubaix

In France, labor induction rate is above 25.8%. Labor induction with Cook's balloon is a non-hormonal mechanical method.

At Roubaix's maternity, midewifes can adminitred acupuncture therapy to help to manage this labor induction.

No studies where found about an effect of acupuncture therapy on delivery provoked by labor induction with Cook's balloon.

Investigators aim to demonstate that acupuncture therapy during labor induction with Cook's balloon can reduced delay until delivery and improved patient's experience. Investigators will use 9 acupuncture points (7C bilateral/ 34VB bilateral/ 3F bilateral, 4GI bilateral and 4VC bilateral) before the application of the balloon. A visual analog scale will be used before and after balloon insertion to collect pain level.

A questionnary will be filled by patient to collect their experiences. Investigators will collect data about analgesia, failed of induction and cesarean section to see effect of acupuncture on them.

Patients will be randomised.
