Summary

This study tests a less invasive treatment for headaches that can happen after a spinal tap or epidural. Instead of the standard blood patch (injecting blood into the back), researchers will use a numbing block inside the nose. 80 adults with persistent headaches will be randomly assigned to one of the two treatments to see which provides better pain relief.
