Preventing headaches after C-section spinal anesthesia
Treatments studied
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This trial tests if giving two medications (neostigmine and atropine) through an IV before spinal anesthesia can reduce the chance of a severe headache that sometimes follows a spinal block. This study is for mothers having a planned C-section.

This trial is studying a way to prevent headaches that can happen after spinal anesthesia during a planned cesarean section. It may help if you are generally healthy, between 20 and 45, and not at risk for certain conditions.
This trial tests if giving lidocaine through an IV can prevent the headache that sometimes happens after spinal anesthesia during a planned C-section. If you are having a planned C-section with spinal anesthesia and meet other health requirements, this study might help reduce your risk of post-procedure headache.
This trial tests if a combination of neostigmine and atropine works better than lidocaine for treating severe headaches that can happen after spinal anesthesia during a planned C-section. It aims to find a more effective way to relieve this type of headache.
This study looks at whether certain factors can predict headaches that sometimes happen after getting spinal anesthesia for a planned C-section. The goal is to help doctors identify women at higher risk so they can offer better care.
This study tests whether adding a medicine called neostigmine to a TAP (belly wall) nerve block can improve pain control after a C-section done under spinal anesthesia. It may help reduce pain and the need for stronger pain medicines.
This study tests if an ultrasound measurement of the nerve sheath in your eye can predict whether you will get a headache after spinal anesthesia for a planned cesarean section. If successful, it could help doctors prevent or treat this headache earlier.
