- Post vaginal delivery
- Registration Number
- JPRN-UMIN000039343
- Lead Sponsor
- St Luke's International Univerity
- Brief Summary
95 and 116 had a vaginal delivery without and with epidural analgesia. The median number of steps increased daily in both groups, with no significant difference between the groups. Postpartum pain was mild overall, with median pain scores <4 and similar between the groups. MFI and EQ-5D-5L scores were worst on postpartum (PP) day 1 and gradually improved to antenatal level by 1-month PP visit. The use of epidural analgesia was associated with lower odds of achieving adequate PP ambulation.
