NCT ID NCT04728048
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at two ways to give pain relief during labor: a standard epidural and a newer technique called dural puncture epidural. The goal was to see which method required fewer extra visits from the doctor to adjust the pain medicine. 130 healthy pregnant women participated, and the results help doctors choose the best approach for managing labor pain.
