Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
DPE group
Participants who receive the dural puncture epidural (DPE) for labor analgesia.
Dural puncture epidural
The Dural puncture epidural technique is done by assessing the epidural space using the Touhy needle and puncturing the dura matter with a finer needle.
SET group
Participants who will be receiving standard epidural technique (SET) for labor analgesia.
Standard Epidural Technique
The Standard Epidural Technique is usually performed by identifying the epidural space using the loss of resistance technique and threading the epidural catheter in the epidural space for administration of analgesic drugs.
