Summary

Labour is a very painful experience and epidural analgesia is considered the gold standard for pain relief in labour. Epidural scarcity, cost and shortage of skilled personnel to administer it is a limitation to it's usage in developing countries. Parenteral opioid analgesics such as pethidine and pentazocine are effective labour analgesia commonly used in developing countries but are limited by their side effects. This limitation in their use call for the need for alternative analgesic with similar or superior analgesic effect but with minimal side effects.The study is aimed at evaluating the efficacy and safety of combined tramadol and paracetamol in reducing labour pain among parturients.
