Combined Spinal/Epidural (CSE) Saline Duration/Spread

Stopped early · Phase 2

Conditions studied: Labor Pain

In brief

An attempt is being made to see if by injecting a set volume of sterile saline into the epidural space during the treatment of labor pain with a combined spinal/epidural (CSE) increases the amount of pain relief obtained and makes the labor analgesia lasts longer. Subjects are in the study from the time their CSE is placed until they request additional pain medication from the spinal dose of numbing medicine wearing off.
