Reducing headaches after spinal anesthesia for planned c-section
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This study looks at whether a certain method for spinal anesthesia can reduce the likelihood of a headache after a planned cesarean section. If you are having a planned c-section and are otherwise healthy, you may be able to join.
