Official title: Assessment of the Expectations and Fears of Pregnant Patients Monitored at the CMCO Regarding Ambulatory Epidural Anesthesia
Run by University Hospital, Strasbourg, France · NCT07345962 · Data updated 2026-11-12
We will see if pregnant patients followed at the CMCO are interested in ambulatory epidural anesthesia and what concerns might stop them.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Adult pregnant women (≥18 years) who are monitored at the CMCO and agree to participate in the survey.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients who refuse to participate, live outside the CMCO catchment area, or have medical contraindications to epidural anesthesia may not benefit from this project.

What this trial studies
This observational survey will ask adult pregnant patients monitored at the CMCO about their interest in ambulatory epidural anesthesia and any fears or concerns they have. Eligible participants are women aged 18 or older who receive care at the CMCO; refusal to participate is the only exclusion criterion. The technique is not yet offered at Strasbourg maternity wards, but a local protocol is being prepared for rollout. Results will be used to guide patient education and implementation planning for the ambulatory epidural protocol.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If patients show interest and addressable concerns, the findings could support implementing ambulatory epidural anesthesia at the CMCO to improve maternal satisfaction.
How similar studies have gone: Ambulatory epidural techniques have been reported since the late 1990s and prior reports associate them with improved maternal satisfaction, though local implementation at Strasbourg is novel.
