A randomised control trial to evaluate the comparative efficacy of dural puncture epidural versus standard epidural technique for analgesia in labouring parturients

Abstract

Background and Objectives: Central neuraxial analgesia is commonly considered the preferred and versatile method of pain treatment in obstetrics during labour. Considerable advancements have been achieved in the field of neuraxial analgesia pertaining to the optimisation of techniques. The primary aim of this research is to assess and contrast the efficacy of labour analgesia achieved using the dural puncture epidural technique with that of the conventional epidural approach.
