Official title

Dural Puncture Epidural Versus Epidural Anesthesia for Cesarean Delivery: A Randomized, Double-blind Study

Brief summary

Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.

This study will compare two anesthetics techniques called Dural Puncture Epidural (DPE) and Standard Epidural as to which of the two can provide faster and potentially better at providing pain relief for cesarean sections. It will also compare these two anesthetics techniques on the percentage of women who require additional drugs to control pain during their cesarean deliveries. The results of this study will help anesthesiologists know which anesthetic technique can provide faster and potentially better at providing pain relief for cesarean sections.
