Multicenter Study
A Multicenter Clinical Study on Treating Post-Dural Puncture Headache with an Intravenous Injection of Aminophylline.
Post-dural puncture headache (PDPH) is the most common complication of lumbar puncture. Aminophylline has been reported to be effective in the prevention of PDPH in some clinical studies, but its efficacy for the treatment of PDPH has been unproven. ⋯ An IV injection of aminophylline may be an effective and safe early-stage treatment for PDPH.
