Intravenous oxytocin for headache after cesarean spinal anesthesia
Treatments studied
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
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 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 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 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 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 Phase 2 study tests neostigmine plus glycopyrrolate to treat a specific type of severe headache that happens after a dural puncture during labor. If you have a new headache starting within 72 hours of delivery and no other cause, this treatment may help relieve your pain.
This study tests two different medicines given through a vein before surgery to see if they can prevent a common headache after spinal anesthesia (called a post-dural puncture headache).
