Predicting blood pressure drops and headaches after spinal anesthesia for cesarean section
Part of Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
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 looks at whether a simple ultrasound measurement of blood flow in your neck can help predict if your blood pressure might drop during spinal anesthesia for a C-section. This could help doctors prevent dizziness and other side effects.
This trial looks at whether we can predict which pregnant women will have a sudden drop in blood pressure during a cesarean section. If you're a healthy pregnant woman with a full-term single baby, this study could help improve safety.
This study builds a tool to predict if blood pressure will drop during a planned cesarean with spinal anesthesia, using heart rate, blood pressure, and other non-invasive monitors. If you participate, the team will track your vital signs during the procedure to help improve safety and comfort for future mothers.
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 study looks at whether certain simple measurements (called shock indexes) taken before your cesarean delivery can help predict if you might have a drop in blood pressure after you get spinal anesthesia. The goal is to help doctors take better care of moms like you during the surgery.
This study checks if a simple neck ultrasound before your cesarean can predict if your blood pressure will drop during spinal anesthesia. This could help doctors prevent dizziness or low blood pressure during surgery.
