Preventing headaches after spinal anesthesia for cesarean section
Part of Pain clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 20 and 45 years old.
- You are pregnant with a full-term baby and have a planned (not emergency) cesarean section.
- You are in good health overall (ASA I or II), meaning no serious medical 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 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 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 trial measures how well two monitoring tools (optic nerve ultrasound and brain oxygen levels) can predict headache after a planned cesarean. It may help find better ways to prevent post-dural puncture 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 is for pregnant women having a planned cesarean section. It uses a non-invasive ultrasound on the neck to measure blood flow and predict the risk of headaches after the spinal tap used for anesthesia. The goal is to help prevent post-dural puncture headaches.
