benzoate/headache

A 27-year-old parturient developed a severe headache after placement of a labor epidural catheter. A presumptive diagnosis of an occult postdural puncture headache (PDPH) was made, and the patient was treated with an intravenous (IV) infusion of 500 mg of caffeine sodium benzoate (CSB) to

OBJECTIVE In this study, we evaluated the efficacy and safety of prophylactic administration of intravenous caffeine sodium benzoate for postdural puncture headaches (PDPH) on patients administered spinal anesthesia. METHODS Sixty ASA I and II patients undergoing lower abdominal or lower extremity

Post-lumbar puncture headache (PLPHA) and spontaneous hypoliquorrheic headache are both associated with low spinal fluid pressure. A dull or throbbing occipital ache characteristically worsened by sitting or standing and eased by lying down is peculiar to both. Additional symptoms and signs may

This is a review of literature from 1943 to mid-1989 on the postdural puncture headache. The article looks at the currently held thoughts on the cause, prevention, and treatments of this second most frequent side effect of spinal anesthesia. Postdural puncture headache (PDPH) is caused by vascular

Fos expression in the brain was systematically investigated by means of immunohistochemical staining after electrical stimulation of the dura mater surrounding the superior sagittal sinus in conscious rats. Fos-like immunoreactive neurons are distributed mainly in the upper cervical spinal cord,

We report a case of post-lumbar-puncture headache successfully treated with intravenous caffeine sodium benzoate. The patient presented to the emergency department with a severe headache three days after a myelogram of the lumbar region. Caffeine sodium benzoate (500 mg) in 1 liter of fluid (D5LR)

A gradient, reversed-phase liquid chromatographic (RP-LC) method was developed for the quantitative determination of rizatriptan benzoate, used to treat relieves migraine headache symptoms. The developed method can be also employed for the related substance determination in bulk samples. Forced

OBJECTIVE The addition of fentanyl to hyperbaric local anesthetics has been shown to reduce the incidence of post dural puncture headache in the obstetric patient. This study was undertaken to evaluate the effects of subarachnoid morphine on the incidence of headache. METHODS Eighty-two healthy

The trigeminovascular nociception induced by electrical stimulation of the dura mater surrounding the superior sagittal sinus in anesthetized animals has been widely used as a model for investigation of the pathophysiology of vascular headache such as migraine. However, little is known whether pain

OBJECTIVE To review the current research and formulate a rational approach to the cause, prevention and treatment of postdural puncture headache (PDPH). METHODS Articles published from January 1980 to April 1992 were obtained through a search of MEDLINE and Index Medicus. Key reference articles

Objectives: To establish the relative bioavailability between a newly developed oral gel and a marketed oral lyophilisate-containing rizatriptan benzoate. Materials and methods:

The most important symptoms caused by food additives are urticaria and angioedema, but rhinitis, asthma and gastrointestinal disturbances are also reported. Only seldom food additives have been shown to induce symptoms in other organs such central nervous system or joints and with a sparse objective

The diagnosis of migraine headache in childhood rests on criteria similar to those used in migraine in adults. It is important, however, to appreciate several fundamental differences. These differences include the duration of attack, which is often far shorter than in an adult, and the location of

OBJECTIVES To conduct a systematic review and analysis of trial data submitted to the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to identify possible causes for the failure of pediatric trials of triptans for treatment of migraines. DATA SOURCE The FDA website for drug information and published
