Effects of Adding Oxycodone to Ropivacaine on Labor Analgesia: A Randomized Controlled Trial

Conclusions: This study demonstrates that epidural oxycodone may accelerate the onset of analgesia and obviously prolong the duration of analgesia during labor without increasing adverse effects associated with the neonate. However, it may cause a higher incidence of maternal pruritus (registration number: ChiCTR1800016483).
