    Author: Jouppila R, Pihlajaniemi R, Hollmèn A, Jouppila P.
    Journal: Ann Chir Gynaecol; 1978; 67(2):85-8. PubMed ID: 150249.
    Abstract:
    The incidence of the postpartum sequelae of headache, backache, pain in the legs and difficulties in micturiton, was studied in 219 normal vaginal deliveries. 135 of the parturients received continuous segmental epidural analgesia at the level of Th 10--12 for pain relief during the first stage of labour. The remaining 84 parturients served as controls. The results showed that segmental epidural analgesia did not increase the occurrence of postpartum sequelae either in primiparous or in multiparous parturients.
