NCT ID NCT05888324

First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated Jun 08, 2026 · Updated 34 times

Summary

This study looked at 98 new mothers who received a blood patch to treat severe headaches caused by a spinal fluid leak during labor. Researchers wanted to see if certain factors, like how the patch was done or the mother's health history, were linked to headaches that lasted 1 to 6 months. The goal was to better understand who might be at risk for long-term headaches, not to test a new treatment.
