Primary Outcome
Pain score AREA UNDER THE CURVE (AUC), which is a calculated area under curve using the trapezoidal rule, where pain scores measured from 0 (no pain) to 10 (worst imaginable pain) are on the y axis, and time is on the x axis (pain scores were measured at 5 minutes, 10 minutes,15 minutes, 30 minutes after epidural initiation for the primary outcome assessment). The scale for AUC is not 0-10 but rather is completely dependent upon the area generated under the curve created by pain scores for the f
Interventions
