Abstract

The incidence of post dural puncture headache (PDPH) after lumbar puncture (LP) can be reduced from 36% to 0-9% by use of an atraumatic needle size 24 gauge (G)/0.56 mm rather than a traumatic needle size 22 G/0.7 mm. The evidence supporting some of the prophylactic and therapeutically treatments of PDPH is sparse. The objective of this study was to clarify which needles doctors at neurological departments in Denmark use for LP and how they treat and prevent PDPH.
