Conditions studied: Labor Pain

Data are lacking regarding the use of music and video games for the management of pain in labor. Pregnant women that are scheduled for labor induction with Foley bulb after 37 weeks will be approached for participation in the study. Patients will be randomized to a music/video games group and a non-music/video games group. Those randomized to group with music/video games will be given an iPod for those purposes.The primary outcome will be the time for patients to request pain medications after Foley bulb placement. The two groups will be compared for differences in pain outcomes.
