Infant neurobehavior alteration is predictor of later intelligence development. Many factors
would influence or are associated with infant neurobehavior, of which exist or appear during
perinatal period. Neuraxial, especially epidural, analgesia to date is the most effective
method in relieving labor pain. Although previous studies showed that opioid used in epidural
analgesia for labor pain can affect newborn neurobehavior negatively in a dose-escalation
associated manner, whether epidural analgesia itself would produce unpredictable effect on
newborn neurobehavior is still unknown. Hereby the investigators designed this trial to
investigate the hypothesis that epidural analgesia for labor pain control itself would not
produce negative effect on infant neurobehavior.
