Disparities in access to pain management have been identified in several care settings, such as emergency departments and intensive care units, but with regard to labour analgesia, it remains poorly explored. ⋯ In France, 1 : 20 women had no labour pain management, and this proportion was three times higher among women who preferred not to use neuraxial analgesia. Enhancing maternal information on labour pain and its management, especially nonpharmacological methods, and rethinking care organisation, could improve access to analgesia of any kind.
