Blood test ratio and headache after C-section spinal
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study looks at whether a simple blood test result (the ratio of two types of white blood cells) can help predict and understand a common headache after spinal anesthesia during C-section. If you qualify, your existing medical records will be reviewed—no extra visits or procedures needed.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a woman 18 years or older
- You had a cesarean section with spinal anesthesia (numbing medicine in your back)
- A complete blood count (blood test) was done before your surgery
- You do not have a blood disorder, active infection, autoimmune disease, or take immune-suppressing drugs
- Your surgery went smoothly with no problems recorded
- Your medical records are available to review after surgery

This study checks if a simple eye ultrasound can help predict a headache that sometimes occurs after spinal anesthesia for a cesarean section. The goal is to find ways to prevent or treat this headache sooner.
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 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 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.
