Preventing headache after spinal needle for lower belly surgery
Treatments studied
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a single injection of neostigmine (with atropine) or ketorolac before surgery can prevent the severe headache that sometimes follows a spinal needle injection. It is for people having lower belly surgery who are generally healthy.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your BMI must be under 35.
- You must be getting surgery on the lower part of your belly (below the belly button).
- You should be in good overall health (ASA class I or II).
- You cannot be pregnant.
- You must not have any allergies to local anesthetics or the study drugs (neostigmine, atropine, ketorolac).

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 trial tests two different ways to inject spinal anesthesia—through the middle or the side of the back—to see which causes fewer headaches afterward. If you're having orthopedic or urology surgery with spinal anesthesia, you may be able to join.
This Phase 2 study tests neostigmine plus glycopyrrolate to treat a specific type of severe headache that happens after a dural puncture during labor. If you have a new headache starting within 72 hours of delivery and no other cause, this treatment may help relieve your pain.
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 study looks at whether living at higher or lower altitudes changes the risk of a specific headache after a C-section done with spinal anesthesia. The goal is to understand who is more likely to get this headache so care can be better tailored.
This trial compares two different numbing injection techniques to help control pain after surgery above the belly button. It may help people who qualify have better or longer-lasting pain relief with fewer side effects.
