A Mean VASs during the first 60 min after epidural block. B Mean RSS values during the first 60 min after epidural block. CON, the conventional PIEB group; IND, the PIEB with intranasal dexmedetomidine group; PIEB, programmed intermittent epidural bolus. VAS, Visual analog scale; RSS, Ramsay Sedation Score. Data are shown as the appearance of mean and error and the plot of 95% CI and analyzed via the liner mixed model and adjusted Bonferroni correction for multiple comparisons. A P-value less than 0.05 was considered to be statistically significant. Values at T0 were included as covariate for baseline correction. T0: before block, T1: 5 min after block, T2: 10 min after block, T3: 15 min after block, T4: 30 min after block, T5: 60 min after block
