Testing a modified epidural technique for labor pain relief

This study is looking at a modified epidural technique called dural puncture epidural (DPE) that doctors use to help manage labor pain. Instead of changing how you receive care, researchers will collect information about how well this technique works, how safe it is, and how satisfied you are with your pain relief. The goal is to understand whether this technique is better than standard epidural methods.

While this modified epidural technique is already being used at this hospital, doctors don't yet have enough clear evidence about whether it truly works better than traditional epidural approaches. This study will help fill that gap by carefully tracking outcomes and safety.
