Do words hurt? study tests if positive talk eases epidural pain

NCT ID NCT04497220

Summary

This study is testing whether the specific words a doctor uses can change how much pain a patient feels during an epidural procedure. Researchers will compare pain levels in pregnant patients who hear either a positive or a negative description right before the epidural is placed. The goal is to see if positive phrasing can make the experience less painful and more satisfactory.
