Predicting headache after spinal puncture
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This study looks at patients having spinal anesthesia to find patterns that might predict a post-dural puncture headache. It aims to create a risk model that can help prevent or manage this complication.

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 uses an ultrasound to measure blood flow in the neck to predict if a pregnant woman will experience low blood pressure or a headache after receiving spinal anesthesia for a planned cesarean section. The goal is to help doctors better manage these common side effects.
This study tests two different medicines given through a vein before surgery to see if they can prevent a common headache after spinal anesthesia (called a post-dural puncture headache). You might join if you are having surgery on the lower belly or below, are otherwise healthy, and are not pregnant.
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.
