Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • visual analog scale score (VAS) ≤3 within 72 hour.

    change in visual analog scale score (VAS )for the assessment of the degree of headache (with 0 representing no headache and 10 cm representing the worst imaginable headache). a visual analog scale score ≤3 within 72 hour after intervention will be recorded.

    3 days

Secondary Outcomes (2)

  • Need for Epidural blood patch

    Day 4

  • Occurence of neck stiffness

    3 days
