Impact of Spinal Needle Gauge on Optic Nerve Sheath Diameter in Patients With Post-Dural Puncture Headache
Status: Recruiting
Location: See location...
Study Type: Observational
SUMMARY
This study aims to investigate the relationship between spinal needle size and optic nerve sheath diameter (ONSD) in patients who develop post-dural puncture headache (PDPH) after spinal anesthesia. ONSD is measured using ultrasound, which helps estimate changes in brain pressure. The study also examines whether the severity of headache is related to ONSD. Adult patients aged 18 to 75 years who develop PDPH will be included. This research will be conducted at Konya City Hospital and is expected to last for approximately six months.
