Epidural Morphine Following Vaginal Delivery: A Randomised, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Trial
In Brief
A Phase 4 clinical trial evaluating Preservative-free epidural morphine and Placebo for Pain. Completed, enrolled 228 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The investigators believe that pain management following a vaginal delivery can be improved. Many women receive epidural medication during labor and delivery, and the investigators felt that using the epidural following delivery might improve the first day pain. This study is to determine whether a single dose of epidural morphine given to mothers after a vaginal delivery will reduce the perineal pain in the postpartum period.
