In France, labor induction rate is above 25.8%. Labor induction with Cook's balloon is a non-hormonal mechanical method. At Roubaix's maternity, midewifes can adminitred acupuncture therapy to help to manage this labor induction. No studies where found about an effect of acupuncture therapy on delivery provoked by labor induction with Cook's balloon.
Investigators aim to demonstate that acupuncture therapy during labor induction with Cook's balloon can reduced delay until delivery and improved patient's experience. Investigators will use 9 acupuncture points (7C bilateral/ 34VB bilateral/ 3F bilateral, 4GI bilateral and 4VC 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.

CH de Roubaix
Roubaix, France
Impact of 9 acupuncture points on time to delivery
The primary objective will be assessed by recording the time of COOK balloon placement and the time of delivery
Time frame: Day 1
Evaluate the impact of acupuncture on patient pain.
Assessment of patient pain using Visual Analogic Scale scores for 1 to 10 points : before insertion of the Cook balloon, one hour after insertion, upon transfer to the delivery room, and during pushing efforts.
Time frame: Day 1
Evaluate experiences of the patient during labor induction between the 2 groups
Use of a questionnary with lickert scale (Completely, Sufficiently, Insufficiently, Not at all)
Time frame: Day 1
Evaluate the consumption of analgesics between the 2 groups
datas of analgesics consumption will be collected in patient record
Time frame: Day 1
Comparison of cesarean section rate, balloon failure rate and induction duration between the two groups
percentage of Caesarean sections recorded in patients' medical records
Time frame: Day 2
Comparison of balloon failure rate between the two groups
percentage of ballon failed procedure recorded in patients' medical records
Time frame: Day 2
Comparison of induction duration between the two groups
Duration in hours between begenning of labour and delivery recorded in patients' medical records
