Labour and delivery involve severe pain for most women. The goal for pain treatment in obstetrics is to provide effective and safe analgesia during all phases of delivery. The ideal method for pain relief during delivery is not yet available. This thesis aims at studying some aspects of opioids in obstetric pain treatment with respect to analgesic efficacy and side‐effects, and to analyse pain during delivery from a neurobiological perspective.
