Clonidine has been used as an epidural adjuvant along with local anesthetics; however, its use as a sole epidural adjuvant in combined spinal-epidural (CSE) anesthesia has not been explored; thus, this study aimed to assess the effects of clonidine as a sole epidural adjuvant in CSE on sensory and motor characteristics of 0.5% hyperbaric bupivacaine given by subarachnoid route.
