Summary

dural puncture epidural (DPE) technique
What this could lead to
If successful, this could help refine the DPE technique to improve pain relief during labor and reduce epidural failure rates.
What could go wrong
This is an observational study, not a controlled trial, so it cannot prove that DPE is better than standard methods. Results may not apply to all hospitals or patients.
