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.

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 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 trial tests two different ways to inject spinal anesthesia—through the middle or the side of the back—to see which causes fewer headaches afterward. If you're having orthopedic or urology surgery with spinal anesthesia, you may be able to join.
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 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.
