Purpose

The aim of the present study was to examine, for pain relief during labor, the efficacy of two pharmacological approaches — the 0.125% ropivacaine alone and the 0.0625% ropivacaine added to 75 ug clonidine, both by epidural administration. The effect of the drugs on mother and newborn was also determined.
