Practice of Epidural Analgesia in Obstetrics Observational Monocentric Descriptive Study

Pain is a complex, subjective and multidimensional phenomenon that will lead to a patient's response that includes verbal expressions about pain. These are behavioural responses and physiological indicators of stress, the pain experience. For a long time, pain was lived as a fatality. It was only dealt with sparingly by medicine. The twentieth century was marked by a demand to no longer suffer, men are no longer inclined to suffer this fatality that has weighed on them for many centuries. From an ethics of acceptance of pain, an inevitable test for the human condition, we have moved to an ethics of refusal to suffer and the therapeutic imperative, due to scientific advances and the growing hold of techniques.
