Predicting headache after spinal anesthesia during C-section
Part of Pain, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

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 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 looks at whether a certain method for spinal anesthesia can reduce the likelihood of a headache after a planned cesarean section. If you are having a planned c-section and are otherwise healthy, you may be able to join.
This study looks at patients having spinal anesthesia to find patterns that might predict a post-dural puncture headache. It aims to create a risk model that can help prevent or manage this complication.
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.
