Headache After Lumbar Puncture Study

IRB
CHLA-23-00201
Pediatric Post Lumbar Puncture Headache Modifiable and Nonmodifiable Risk Factors

It is common for individuals to develop headaches after a lumbar puncture (LP) procedure. While LPs are frequently performed, little is known about the risk factors for headaches in pediatric populations. This study aims to address this gap in knowledge by evaluating the risks factors on headache incidence, duration, onset, psychological state, and impact on quality of life. This study also aims to examine health inequities.
