Clinical Trial Summary

The aim of this study is to compare epidural dexmedetomidine vs nalbuphine added to bupivacaine in labor analgesia and determine the privilege of one over the other and to compare the effect of both analgesics after delivery.


Clinical Trial Description

Labor pain often causes a strong stress response in women. Recently, it is concerned by most mothers and doctors that how to effectively alleviate the pain during delivery. There is no standard treatment for labor pain. A wide range of pharmacological and non-pharmacological labor pain relief techniques are available for pregnant women . Labor analgesia, also known as painless childbirth, refers to the use of various methods to reduce maternal labor pain or make it disappear. The ideal labor analgesia should be based on maternal and child safety, and should have fast acting, good analgesic effect and less adverse reaction. Epidural block anesthesia is convenient, and has less adverse reaction and obvious effect in the commonly used analgesic methods, which is widely used in the current way of analgesia. Dexmedetomidine is a highly selective α2 adrenergic receptor agonist that has sedative, hypnotic, and analgesic effects . Nalbuphine is a synthetic agonist antagoLabor pain often causes a strong stress response in women.
