Filter by: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. .
The aim of this study is to examine the effects of altitude (high altitude versus low altitude) on incidence and severity of postural puncture headache (PDPH) following spinal anaesthesia for caesarean delivery. The investigators hypothesized that the risk of PDPH would be higher in highlander parturients than in lowlander parturients.
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.
Postdural puncture headache (PDPH) is a frequent complication after neuraxial anaesthesia due to accidental puncture of the dura mater. After spinal anaesthesia, the rate of PDPH may reach up to 28,7% of cases. PDPH is more common in females, especially obstetric patients, young age and more after epidural than spinal anaesthesia because of needle type. PDPH interferes with the patient's ability to resume activities, prolongs the hospital stay, and causes chronic headaches in up to 28% of cases. Several treatment modalities were described for PDPH. Conservative treatment, an epidural blood patch, peripheral nerve blocks, such as sphenopalatine ganglion block (SPGB) and more excellent occipital nerve block (GONB) using local anaesthetic block or through percutaneous radiofrequency ablation or direct injection of local anaesthetic and steroid directly into the neck muscles; were all proven effective in treating PDPH. Radiofrequency (RF) is a commonly used technique to treat different types of pain, headaches, and musculoskeletal abnormalities. The second-generation non-invasive RF modality was recently developed as Tecar therapy (TECAR: Capacitive and Resistive Energy Transfer). Tecar therapy provided promising results in treating chronic pelvic and postpartum perineal pain. To our knowledge, Tecar therapy efficacy in treating PDPH has not been evaluated before. This study aims to assess the effectiveness of Tecar therapy as a non-invasive technique for treating PDPH. This study hypothesizes that Tecar therapy could be an effective non-invasive technique for treating or reducing PDPH.
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare different approaches of spinal anesthesia in pregnant females who are having cesarean section. The main aim is • Which approach is better in terms of avoiding intraoperative and post operative complications Participants will be given anesthesia by 1. Midline approach 2. paramedian approach 3. Taylors approach
The purpose of the study is to compare Sphenopalatine ganglion block (SPGB) and aminophylline in the efficacy and safety management of PDPH.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the long term effects of the ganglion sphenopalatine block (GSP block) on postdural puncture headache.
Intravenous neostigmine was recently reported as an effective treatment for PDPH for parturients after intrathecal (IT) block which is postulated to be through its central effects on CSF secretion and cerebral vascular tone modulation. Intrathecal neostigmine has been investigated widely and found to be an effective adjuvant to bupivacaine for postoperative analgesia. The objective of the current study is to investigate the possible prophylactic role of intrathecal neostigmine as an adjuvant to bupivacaine in reducing the incidence and severity of post-dural puncture headache in parturients scheduled for an elective cesarean section.
The prospective study is planned in a university hospital. Spinal anesthesia is widely used for cesarean section currently for its safety, low cost, reliability, easiness to administer, immediate effect, and well-operating conditions. However spinal anesthesia has some complications as hypotension, bradycardia and Post Dural Puncture Headache (PDPH). A practical strategy for avoiding hypotension during initiation of spinal anesthesia for cesarean delivery includes intravenous crystalloid, in conjunction with administration of vasopressors. PDPH is one of the most frequent complications of spinal anesthesia. Conservative therapies such as bed rest, hydration, and caffeine are commonly used as management. For this study, coffee group of patients will be given unsweetened brewed coffee 150 ml until 2-4 hours before surgery. Patients who accept to drink brewed coffee ( coffee group) and water( control group) will be included in the study. The patient's heart rate, blood pressure, oxygen saturation will be monitored and recorded during operation. Intraoperative will be recorded to amount of vasopressor and intraveous crystalloid. Whether the patient develops PDPH in the postoperative period will be followed for 3 days. In addition abdominal auscultation for bowel sounds hourly and the time of first bowel movements will be recorded. According to the patient's statement, the time of first flatulence and defecation will be followed and recorded.
