Long-Term Outcomes of Post Dural Puncture Headache Treated With Epidural Blood Patch: A Pilot Study
This pilot study demonstrates that patients who received an EBP for treatment of a PDPH following LP are no more likely to experience chronic headaches compared to patients who do not receive an EBP. However, both the EBP group and Non-EBP group had high incidence of chronic headaches which may be related to dural puncture or a baseline trait of this cohort given the recall bias. There is a suggestion that tinnitus could be a long-term residual symptom of PDPH treated with EBP.
