Labor pain is probably the most painful event in a woman's life. By the present consensus, epidural analgesia is the most effective and least depressive treatment for labor pain.

However, studies designed for discussing this topic in Taiwan are few. In this study, the association of the intervention timing with labor outcomes in nulliparous women in Taiwan is discussed.
