Patients were separated into two groups regarding labor analgesia request. Combined spinal-epidural analgesia was performed in sitting position for the first group (CSE Group, n=104). The second group consisted of women who had chosen not the have CSE (non-epidural group, n=94). The patients were asked for low-back pain and other symptoms related to it on the first day, third day, one month and sixth months after the delivery. Totally, we determined 60 new onset low back pain cases after the delivery (32 in CSE and 28 in non-epidural group). We didn't establish any significant differences during long-time follow-ups between the groups. We concluded that, combined spinal-epidural analgesia could be performed safely without increasing the backache incidence after delivery.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessLong-term backachePregnancyAnesthesiaLaborLow-back painCombined spinal-epiduralGeneral & internal medicineArticle0004210574000042429183
