Summary
Neuraxial analgesia is the gold standard to relieve labor pain. A recent "Practice guidelines
for obstetric anesthesia" suggests that neuraxial analgesia should be provided in the early
stage of labor (cervical dilation < 5 cm) or on a individualized basis. The purpose of this
randomized controlled trial is to investigate whether neuraxial labor analgesia administered
on an individualized basis can improve analgesia quality and maternal satisfaction.
