Predicting headache after cesarean using ultrasound and oxygen monitoring
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are between 18 and 40 years old.
- You are at least 37 weeks pregnant.
- You are scheduled for a planned (not emergency) cesarean delivery.

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 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 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 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.
