NCT05777694

Brief Summary

The aim of this study is to compare the effect of spinal needle type on postdural puncture headache in patients who will undergo cesarean section. The main question\[s\] it aims to answer are: \[Does spinal needle thickness affect postdural puncture headache?\] \[What is the response of patients who develop postdural puncture headache to treatment?\] In cases accepting cesarean section operation under spinal anesthesia, different tables were used with spinal needles, and it will be questioned whether headache will develop in the first 15 days postoperatively. Postdural puncture headache after surgery will be described.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • PDPH and spinal needle

    The primary aim of this study is to investigate the effect of needle type used on postdural puncture headache.

    postoperatively 15 days. The hospital was visited on the first day and information was obtained by calling in the following days. Patients with PDPH were evaluated as mild (1-3), moderate (4-7), severe (8-10) according to the Lybecker classification.

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • Treatment response of patients with PDPH

    postoperatively 15 days, The hospital was visited on the first day and information was obtained by calling in the following days. Oral drugs used in the treatment and recommendations were noted.
