Core Tip	Because κ-receptors appear to be involved in visceral pain modulation, butorphanol, which has a strong visceral component, has been recommended as an effective treatment for labor-related pain. Nevertheless, no study has comprehensively examined the effectiveness and safety of using butorphanol as an epidural analgesic during labor. The safety and effectiveness of butorphanol for epidural analgesia during labor will be thoroughly and systematically investigated in this study. Future research and clinical practice will benefit from the conclusions of the present study.
