Study Summary

Given the high prevalence of neuraxial analgesia use during labor and the anxiety associated with these procedures, a method to decrease this anxiety could benefit millions of laboring women each year. Mindfulness practice has been used by many groups to decrease anxiety during pregnancy with optimistic results. However, there has been no major study evaluating the role of mindfulness interventions on anxiety associated with neuraxial placement. The purpose of our study is to address this gap in knowledge.
