Warm anesthetics may cool down epidural fevers in childbirth
NCT ID NCT06682416
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether warming the local anesthetic used in epidural pain relief to body temperature (37°C) can lower the chance of fever during labor. About 424 women from two hospitals will take part. Half will get the warmed solution, half will get room-temperature solution. Researchers will track fever rates, pain scores, and health outcomes for mothers and newborns.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
local anesthetic solution (warmed to 37°C)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could point toward a simple way to lower fever risk during epidural pain relief in childbirth.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage study. The effect may be small or not apply to all women. Fever during labor has many causes, so warming the anesthetic may not help.
