Often cervical preparation is required with mechanical methods increasingly popular due to their improved safety. This study evaluates the efficacy, safety, and acceptability of digital versus speculum-based balloon insertion for cervical preparation, aiming to identify gaps and inform future research.</div></div><div><h3>Data source</h3><div>PubMed, Ovid MEDLINE, EMBASE, and Scopus were searched from database inception until 30 June 2023.</div></div><div><h3>Study eligibility criteria</h3><div>Included studies were randomized controlled trials comparing digital versus speculum-based insertion of catheter-related balloons for labor induction in individuals with viable singleton pregnancies, in both inpatient and outpatient settings, written in English.

Two studies found digital insertion significantly less painful than speculum-based insertion (<em>P</em><.001), while one reported no difference (<em>P</em>=.72). Maternal satisfaction was comparable, with one study favoring digital insertion (<em>P</em>=.011).

However, due to substantial heterogeneity, findings for procedural time, time from induction to delivery, and epidural rate should be cautiously interpreted.</div></div><div><h3>Conclusions</h3><div>Digital insertion for cervical preparation appears associated with reduced pain and higher patient acceptability compared to speculum-based insertion.
