Summary
In the setting of fetal demise it is important to help the mother deliver the fetus
expeditiously and with as little physical trauma as possible. This study hypothesizes that
application of capsaicin to the uterine cervix will enhance cervical ripening and desensitize
pain fibers such that delivery is less painful.
