Preventing spinal anesthesia headache in cesarean section: Randomized clinical trial
Both paracetamol and dexamethasone had a positive impact on reducing the incidence and severity of PDPH compared to the normal saline group in cesarean sections (with dexamethasone showing a stronger effect). Recovery time, painkiller use, newborn Apgar scores, and patient satisfaction did not differ significantly between the groups. Further research is needed to validate these findings and ensure reproducibility.
