Associations Between Maternal Characteristics and Acupuncture During Labour

Acupuncture has gained increasing attention as a potential tool for managing labour pain. This study investigated the associations between maternal characteristics and women's responses to acupuncture during labor, specifically focusing on labor pain intensity and epidural analgesia usage. The study used data from a randomized controlled trial to examine these associations.
