The Australian and New Zealand Journal of Obstetics and Gynaecology ANZJOG has published a new randomised German EPI-NO Trial in their October 2009 Edition. The study " Prospective randomised multicentre trial with the birth trainer EPI-NO for the prevention of perineal trauma" studied 276 first time mothers in Frankfurt, Munich and Ulm, Germany. The study concluded "Training with EPI-NO increases significantly the liklihood of having an intact perineum and reduces the episiotomy rate".

EPI-NO Clinical Studies have been conducted in Germany (2), Australia, Israel and Singapore.
