A Comparative Study of Onset and Quality of Labour Analgesia with Dural Puncture Epidural and Conventional Epidural Techniques
Of 78 participants completing the study, significantly more in the DPE group achieved NRS 3 at 10 minutes (64.1% vs. 20.5%, P = 0.011). DPE resulted in faster onset, greater S2 blockade, and higher maternal satisfaction. Haemodynamic parameters remained stable, with no differences in adverse effects or labour outcomes.
