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.
