Nebulized dexmedetomidine versus neostigmine/atropine for treating post-dural puncture headache after cesarean section: a double-blind randomized controlled trial.

Background: Post-dural puncture headache (PDPH) is one of the most common complications of neuraxial anesthesia after an accidental dural puncture. This study aimed to test non-interventional alternatives to treat PDPH. Our goals were to compare the effectiveness of nebulized dexmedetomidine (DEX) versus neostigmine/atropine in the conservative management of PDPH.
