Epidural training study for new residents
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be an anesthesiology resident.
- You must have placed fewer than 5 epidurals before.

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.
This study tests two different epidural techniques to find the best dose of pain medicine for labor. It aims to improve comfort during childbirth.
This study is testing how well a combination of two medicines (bupivacaine and lidocaine) works for epidural pain relief during early labor. The goal is to find the best dose to help manage labor pain.
This study watches how resident doctors place epidural catheters (thin tubes placed near the spine to deliver pain medicine) during elective surgery. Researchers track how often the procedure works and what problems might occur, to improve training.
This trial tests a new device called the EpiFaith syringe, used during epidural pain management procedures. It compares the new syringe to the standard one to see if it helps doctors find the right spot more easily.
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.
