Simulation training for epidural pain relief placement
Part of Pain, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial tests if simulation-based training helps anesthesia residents learn to place epidural catheters for pain relief. It may be right for you if you are a resident with little experience placing epidurals.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a resident in anesthesia
- You have placed fewer than 20 epidural catheters
- You have not used an epidural simulator before
- You are willing to give your informed consent

This study looks at how anesthesiology residents learn to place epidurals. It may help understand the best way to teach this skill to doctors who are just starting out.
This study is testing whether using ultrasound to guide the placement of an epidural catheter (a tube in your back for pain relief) works better than the usual method for people whose spine bumps are hard to feel. If you are having planned general surgery and need an epidural, ultrasound guidance may help place it more accurately and reduce attempted pokes.
This study compares two ways an anesthesia resident places an epidural catheter (a tiny tube that delivers pain relief) during your surgery. They want to see which method is safer and more successful, so you might get better pain control after surgery.
This study is about testing a training method for doctors who specialize in anesthesia and intensive care, but it is only open to a specific group of trainees.
This trial studies an approach to placing an epidural (pain medicine placed near the spine) during early labor. It aims to improve how safely and accurately epidurals are positioned, which may help with comfort during childbirth.
This study tests a new device to help place epidurals more accurately during surgery. It may help reduce pain and improve safety for patients.
