Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Labor is the process where the cervix is prepared to allow the baby to pass from the uterine cavity to the outside world. In the ordinary course, it ends with spontaneous or instrumental vaginal delivery or cesarean section. Traditionally, the first stage in which the cervix is passively dilated in response to uterine contractions consists of the second stage in which the mother passes the baby through the vagina and the third stage, the exit of the placenta.

In the first stage of labor, pain is caused by uterine contractions and pressure on the cervix. Pain is transmitted through the T10-L2 spinal nerves and is felt in the abdominal wall, waist, hips, or thighs. In the second stage, pain from the vagina and perineum is added to uterine pain. This pain is transmitted by the pudendal nerves through the S2-4 nerve roots.

In this study, we aimed to investigate the effects of dural puncture epidural analgesia versus combined spinal-epidural analgesia with epidural volume extension on labor variables.
