Clinical Trial Summary

Postdural puncture headache (PDPH) is a common complication after spinal anesthesia. The role of pregabalin and hydrocortisone in the treatment of PDPH is unclear. The aim of this work is to assess and compare the efficacy of both drugs in severe cases of PDPH after spinal anesthesia for elective cesarean section.


Clinical Trial Description

The study will be done on 30 patient with PDPH with VAS score ≥ 5 after spinal anesthesia for elective cesarean section. Patients will be divided into three groups: Control group (group C):will receive conventional treatment in the form of good oral hydration, 500 mg of acetaminophen plus 65 mg of caffeine oral tablets thrice daily, 3 cups of coffee daily, 50 mg of diclofenac potassium oral tablets twice daily and recumbent positioning for 48 hours. Pregabalin group (group P): will receive the conventional treatment plus 100 mg of pregabalin oral tablet every 8 hours for 48 hours. Hydrocortisone group (group H): will receive the conventional treatment plus 100 mg of hydrocortisone IV every 8 hours for 48 hours. The three groups will be compared regarding the headache intensity using a visual analog scale. ;
