Eye ultrasound to predict headaches after cesarean spinal anesthesia
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study uses an ultrasound to measure the optic nerve sheath diameter (the space around the eye's nerve) before and after spinal anesthesia for cesarean section. The goal is to see if this measurement can predict post-dural puncture headache, a common side effect. If it works, it might help doctors prevent or treat these headaches sooner.

- You are scheduled for an elective (planned) cesarean section.
- You will receive spinal anesthesia (numbing medicine injected into your back).
- You are generally healthy or have mild-to-moderate controlled health conditions (ASA II or III).

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 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 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 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 checks if a simple, painless eye ultrasound can help predict confusion (delirium) after heart surgery. It may help doctors identify patients at risk earlier and improve recovery.
