Brief summary
In France, labor induction rate is above 25.8%. Labor induction with Cook's balloon is a non-hormonal mechanical method but this technique can provide pain. At Roubaix's maternity, midewifes can adminitred acupuncture therapy to help to manage this pain. No studies where found about an effect of acupuncture therapy on pain provoked by labor induction with Cook's balloon.
Detailed description
Investigators aim to demonstate that acupuncture therapy during labor induction with Cook's balloon can reduced pain and improved patient's experience. Investigators will use 7 acupuncture points (YIN TANG/ 4 GI bilateral/ 36 E bilateral and 5TR 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.
