Department of Anaesthesiology, University of Oulu, Finland.

In a randomized study, the incidence of visceral pain was evaluated in 46 patients undergoing elective caesarean section under spinal or epidural anaesthesia with 0.5% bupivacaine. If the patient experienced pain during the operation, a standard visual analogue scale ranging from 0 to 10 was used to assess the degree of pain. Visceral pain occurred in 12/23 patients in the spinal group and in 13/23 patients in the epidural group. In neither group was a correlation found between the cephalad level of analgesia or the intensity of cutaneous analgesia in the sacral region, and the presence of visceral pain.
