1.	Pain (Aches) 10/01/2008 - "The pain score, had significant reduction in all groups with best results observed in Group 3. The onset of analgesia was relatively rapid in Group 2 followed by Group 3 then Group 1. The duration of analgesia was prolonged in Group 1 followed by Group 3 and then Group 2. There was no incidence of motor block except in 5 parturient (20%) in Group 1. UAPI was significantly decreased in the three studied groups after epidural analgesia" 12/01/2003 - "CONCLUSIONS: Continuous epidural analgesia resulted in good pain relief, provided the best balance of analgesia and side effects and improved postoperative outcome." 08/01/2003 - "Epidural analgesia is the most effective means of pain relief during labor and is considered to be the "gold standard"" 07/13/2000 - "Epidural analgesia can provide excellent pain relief for patients" 01/01/2000 - "REVIEWER'S CONCLUSIONS: Epidural analgesia appears to be very effective in reducing pain during labour, although there appear to be some potentially adverse effects" Get all the results and reference details, order at left...
2.	Postoperative Pain 03/01/1992 - "Although most studies suggest that epidural analgesia is superior for postoperative pain relief, few clearly demonstrate an improvement in pulmonary function attributable to epidural analgesia" 06/01/2001 - "The analysis of postoperative data demonstrates that postoperative pain control with continuous epidural analgesia is superior to methods as it shortens the length of stay on the intensive care unit (7.15 vs. 10.67 days; p < 0.05) and postoperative hospitalisation (18.06 vs. 23.50 days; p < 0.05)" 04/01/2008 - "CONCLUSIONS: These results show that postoperative continuous epidural analgesia is effective for postoperative pain relief in patients after laparoscopy-assisted colectomy." 07/01/2005 - "CONCLUSIONS: These results show that postoperative continuous epidural analgesia is effective for postoperative pain relief in patients after laparoscopy-assisted gastrectomy." 04/01/1998 - "Thoracic epidural analgesia is effective for alleviating postoperative pain from corrective thoracic surgery in children" Get all the results and reference details, order at left...
3.	Labor Pain 10/01/2002 - "SUMMARY: Labour epidural analgesia still remains the 'gold standard' of obstetric pain management, although spinal analgesia with the single-injection technique is an attractive option due to its simplicity, reliability and efficacy" 03/01/2008 - "OBJECTIVES: Epidural analgesia (EA) is an effective and safe method to relieve labor pain" 09/01/2007 - "Attempt to offer safe and effective epidural analgesia for labor pain at the Hamamatsu University Hospital]" 03/01/2003 - "STUDY DESIGN: Intrauterine pressure was measured prospectively electronically in 94 women whose labor pain was controlled by patient-requested epidural analgesia" 12/01/2002 - "A new era of obstetric pain relief was initiated when a study design was devised to define the Minimum Local Analgesic Concentration (MLAC) needed for epidural analgesia" Get all the results and reference details, order at left...
