Official Title: Sphenopalatine Ganglion Block Versus Occiptal Nerve Block in Treatment of Postduarl Puncture Headache

Brief Summary: Postdural puncture headache (PDPH) is a common complication associated with neuraxial anesthesia and diagnostic lumbar puncture (LP). PDPH is defined as a bilateral headache that develops within 7 days and disappears within 14 days after the dural puncture with a distinct postural quality. PDPH causes significant short-term disability, prevents ambulation and care of the newborn (in obstetrics), and results in a prolonged hospital stay.
