Eye ultrasound to predict headache after spinal anesthesia for c-section
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be a woman between 18 and 45 years old.
- You need to be pregnant with one baby and be planning a cesarean section.
- Your anesthesia for the surgery will be spinal anesthesia (a numbing shot in your back).
- You must be in good general health (with mild or moderate disease, but not severe).
- Your blood clotting tests must be within normal range.
- You must be able to give written consent and cooperate with the study.

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 whether giving an intravenous dose of oxytocin can help relieve the severe headache that can occur after spinal anesthesia for a cesarean section. If you have this headache, the treatment may provide quick relief.
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 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.
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.
