Extradural morphine for the relief of pain following caesarean section.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Prediction models to identify parturients who experience protracted pain, prolonged opioid use, and delayed self-assessed functional recovery are currently inadequate. METHODS:For this study, 213 nulliparous women who planned vaginal delivery were enrolled and assessed daily until they completed three outco...
