Brief Summary

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

As most woman experience agonizing pain throughout vaginal labor. Adjuvants were added to intrathecal bupivacaine aiming to improve the quality of analgesia. This study aimed to assess the efficacy and outcome of intrathecal dexmedetomidine and fentanyl in controlling pain during delivery.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Throughout vaginal deliveries, many women suffered from pain. providing suitable analgesia is crucial (Lupu et al., 2023). Spinal anesthesia can provide pain management (Parikh et al., 2018).

Various types of analgesics can be combined to get the needed duration of perioperative analgesia. Dexmedetomidine has been used with effective pain management outcomes (Shrestha et al., 2023). Fentanyl can help pain relief in short duration procedures (Show et al., 2022).
