Blood test markers may forecast spinal headache risk in cesarean patients

NCT ID NCT07706751

First seen Jul 16, 2026 · Last updated Jul 17, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study looks at whether simple inflammation markers from routine blood tests can predict postdural puncture headache (PPH) in pregnant women having a cesarean section under spinal anesthesia. Researchers will analyze pre- and post-surgery blood results from 260 women to see if certain inflammation values are linked to developing PPH. The goal is to identify at-risk women early so preventive steps can be taken.
