[Dystocia at the onset of labour. An evaluation of the different treatments available (author's transl)].

The authors have carried out a random study on 75 cases in order to evaluate objectively the therapeutic methods usually employed in cases of dystocia in starting labour. These studies have shown the superiority of Syntocinon using an infusion together with epidural analgesia. This attitude goes against the methods of treatment usually used in France. The authors explain the reasons for their choice in the light of factors that they have observed using other therapeutic methods.
