Summary
This study tested whether a catheter with multiple openings provides better pain relief during labor than a standard single-opening catheter. 650 women in labor received epidural pain medication through one of the two catheters. The goal was to see if the multiport design reduced the need for extra pain medication and improved overall comfort.
