Background: You need look no farther than central neuraxial analgesia for a dependable and flexible method of managing pain during childbirth. In the field of neuraxial analgesia, several potential technological developments have occurred. Examining the relative advantages of dural puncture epidural versus conventional epidural for painless childbirth is the goal of this study.

Methods: Investigating the efficacy of dural puncture epidurals as comparison to conventional epidurals for the management of labor pain. This clinical experiment was conducted at the labor and delivery facility of the RVS Institute of Medical Sciences in Chittoor, Andhra Pradesh, India, in the Department of Anesthesiology. Between February 2018 and January 2019. This analysis includes forty participants.

Results: In group A, enough analgesia was attained on average 11.60 minutes into treatment; in group B, it took 10.04 minutes. 52% of women in Group A and 60% of women in Group B reported having pain on a VAS score of 10 or below ten minutes after receiving an epidural bolus.

Conclusion: The dural puncture epidural approach requires shorter time to attain therapeutic levels of analgesia than the standard epidural procedure, making it a better option for pain relief during delivery. A dural puncture epidural causes no injury to the mother or the unborn child, and the epidural facilitates sacral dissemination, the onset of analgesia, and the relief of bilateral pain in laboring women.
