Long-term assessment of extradural analgesia for the relief of pain in labour. II: Sense of "deprivation" after extradural analgesia in labour: relevant or not?
Ninety-nine mothers who received extradural analgesia, and 95 who received conventional methods of analgesia for the relief of pain in labour, were interviewed at 18-24 months following delivery. An increase of about 2% in the proportion of mothers experiencing a sense of "deprivation" in the long term in comparison with the findings recorded immediately after delivery was noted. This was not accompanied by the need to seek psychiatric treatment.
