Filter by:Post-dural puncture headache (PDPH) is one of the most important complications of neuraxial blocks and lumbar interventions for cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) examination. It occurs due to tear in the dura mater and loss of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) after intrathecal or epidural interventions.The incidence of PDPH depends on the thickness of the needle used and the type of tip. Headaches are more common with thick needles than with thin needles.In our study, postdural puncture headache in patients whose surgery was planned and spinal anesthesia was applied at Süleyman Demirel University faculty of medicine;frequency, predisposing factors, treatment intended to examine.
Neuraxial techniques are well tolerated and effective options for labor analgesia and anesthesia for caesarean section, and may protect high risk women against severe maternal morbidity. However, neuraxial techniques still have drawbacks especially postdural puncture headache (PDPH) and may be associated with chronic headache, back pain and postnatal depression. PDPH is a relatively common acute complication of neuraxial techniques that was traditionally considered benign and self-limiting, but it significantly impacts patients' general health and quality of life. Greater Occipital Nerve (GON) originates from C2-3 segments and through its muscular relations it is divided as proximal and distal parts; the most proximal part lies between obliquus capitis inferior and semispinalis and then passes through the semispinalis to pierce the trapezius muscle. In distal region of trapezius fascia, the GON is crossed by the occipital artery and exits the trapezius fascia into the nuchal line about 5-cm lateral to midline. Functionally, GON provides motor supplies to the muscles while passing through it and its main sensory supply is in the occipital region.
This study will be conducted to better comprehend the effect of aminophylline in comparison to magnesium sulphate on preventing and/or treating PDPH.
Lumbar puncture (LP), often known as a "spinal tap," is a standard medical technique pioneered in the late 1900s by Heinrich Quincke. It involves the retrieval and analysis of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) from the spinal cord, serving as the benchmark for diagnosing conditions like subarachnoid hemorrhage, meningitis, and specific neurological conditions. Pregabalin, an anticonvulsant medicine that blocks calcium entry, is used to treat a variety of diseases. It has been used to relieve pain in a variety of patient groups, including those with chronic pain, epilepsy, and anxiety disorders
To improve treatment for post dural puncture headache, its pathophysiology needs to be explored. Dural puncture alters CNS dynamics; using advanced MRI, we aim to investigate PDPHs pathophysiology explained by brain movement, cerebral blood flow, CSF dynamics and the effect of epidural blood patch.
The purpose of this study is to o determine whether the modified LP procedure reduces the incidence of PLPH to 5% or lower, to determine whether the modified LP procedure reduces the frequency of epidural blood patch (EBP) usage to 10% or lower of the PLPH population and to identify factors that may contribute to or reduce incidence of PLPH
Epidural anesthesia represents the most popular method for pain relief during labour. Unintentional dural puncture (UDP) occurs in 0.4-1.5% of labour epidural analgesia, representing therefore the most common complication. Up to 80% of patients with a UDP may develop a post-dural puncture headache (PDPH). When a UDP occurs, two possible strategies have been proposed in order to ensure analgesia during labour: either resiting the epidural catheter in a different intervertebral space, or inserting an intrathecal catheter. Both strategies proved to equally provide analgesia during labour, but their relative contribution in preventing PDPH is still not known. The primary aim of this multicenter randomized controlled trial is therefore to compare these two strategies in the occurrence of PDPH at 24 hours from the UDP.
Postdural puncture headache (PDPH) is a major complication of neuraxial anesthesia that can occur following spinal anesthesia and with inadvertent Dural puncture during epidural anesthesia. The presence of Pyridostigmine in CSF would be expected to increase the level of acetylcholine in CSF and subsequently in the brain through inhibition of cholinesterase. The increased level of acetylcholine would produce cerebral vasoconstriction.
The purpose of this study is to identify possible links between conditions for carrying out a blood patch (BP) to treat accidental post dural puncture acute headache (PDPH) in the early post partum period and occurrence of chronic headaches at 1 and 6 months.
The goal of this clinical trial is to determine the effect of Muscle Energy Techniques on post dural puncture headache, neck pain and disability after Cesarean Section. .
