U.S., Nov. 10 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07924033) titled 'Predicting Perineal Pain During the Expulsive Phase Under Obstetric Epidural Analgesia' on Oct. 27.
Brief Summary: Insufficient perineal coverage can cause pain as the baby's head emerges, a condition that affects 30% of patients. Currently, there is no consensus on which cold-test site is most predictive of this pain.
Detecting a block that does not extend to the sacral roots is crucial for anticipating the pain experienced during the emergence of the baby's head. Identifying the most predictive testing site would allow the anesthesiologist to anticipate this pain and adjust analgesic management accordingly.
