Doctors probe link between needle size and spinal headaches

NCT ID NCT06957899

Summary

This study looked at whether the size of the needle used during spinal anesthesia affects brain pressure measurements in patients who develop headaches afterward. Researchers used ultrasound to measure the optic nerve sheath (a marker of brain pressure) in 40 adult patients with these headaches. The goal was to better understand why these headaches occur and if needle size plays a role.
