The epidural analgesia technique was developed in the early 20th century, with significant contributions made in the United States. The first successful epidural anesthesia was performed by Dr. Fidel Pagés in 1921 in Spain, but it gained wider recognition and use in the U.S. and elsewhere following further research and refinement. The method revolutionized pain management during labor and surgeries, becoming a standard practice in obstetrics.
