Predicting Headache After Cesarean With Neck Ultrasound
Part of Brain & nervous system, Pain, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study is for pregnant women having a planned cesarean section. It uses a non-invasive ultrasound on the neck to measure blood flow and predict the risk of headaches after the spinal tap used for anesthesia. The goal is to help prevent post-dural puncture headaches.

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 tests if an ultrasound measurement of the nerve sheath in your eye can predict whether you will get a headache after spinal anesthesia for a planned cesarean section. If successful, it could help doctors prevent or treat this headache earlier.
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 measures the thickness of the nerve sheath behind the eye to see if it can predict who will get a headache after spinal anesthesia during a cesarean section. It may help doctors better prevent and treat this common side effect.
This trial is studying a way to prevent headaches that can happen after spinal anesthesia during a planned cesarean section. It may help if you are generally healthy, between 20 and 45, and not at risk for certain conditions.
This research study uses ultrasound images of a neck vein to predict whether a pregnant person will experience low blood pressure during spinal anesthesia for a planned cesarean section. The goal is to help doctors identify and prevent this common side effect before it happens.
