The use of @entity288 is one of the methods put forward for the strengthening and speeding up the process of labor. After identification of glucocorticoid receptors in @entity1 amnion, the role of corticosteroids in starting the process of labor has been studied in numerous studies. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of intravenous @entity619 on preparing the cervix and on labor induction. A randomized, clinical, and double-blind trial was conducted on 172 @entity1 divided into a control and an experimental group. The inclusion criteria were that they had to be primparous, in or before the 40th week of pregnancy, and with Bishop scores (B.S.s) of 4 or lower. The exclusion criteria were @entity6 , @entity1468 , @entity8455 , twin pregnancy, rupture of the membrane (ROM), breech, and @entity1 suffering from background diseases. The B.S.s of the @entity1 was measured in charge of the study, and each @entity1 was intravenously injected with eight milligrams of @entity619 or eight milligrams of distilled water. Four hours after the injections, the B.S.s of the @entity1 was measured, and they were put under the conditions of labor induction using @entity398 . Information was collected in checklists A and B. The @entity1 were compared with respect to B.S., the time the induction started, the average interval between the start of induction and the beginning of the active phase of childbirth, and the average length of time between the start of the active phase and the second stage of childbirth. The first and five minutes Apgar scores of the two groups of @entity1 were compared. The frequencies, the means,   and the standard deviations were calculated using the SPSS - 16 software, and analysis of the results was performed with the Student's t- test and the chi-square test with P.
