Efficacy and Safety of Electrical Stimulation-guided Epidural Analgesia for Vaginal Delivery

Category Primary study
Registry of Trialsclinicaltrials.gov
Year 2015
Forty pregnant women (36 to 41 weeks gestation) will randomly allocate to two groups. Groups will be defined based on the method used to identify the epidural space for epidural anesthesia: the loss of resistance group (n=20) and the epidural electrical stimulation group (n=20). Pain will be assessed using a numerical visual analog scale and maternal satisfaction by a post-partum interview. The success rate of epidural analgesia, maternal satisfaction, and neonatal Apgar scores will be compared between groups.
