What's new?

Among post-cesarean section women, the use of coffee appears to be linked with improvement in post-dural puncture headache incidence, severity, and reduction in analgesics need.

Coffee intake can be used by midwifery nurses as a non-pharmacological method to relieve post-dural puncture headache (PDPH) among post-cesarean section women, as deciphered from a recent study. The purpose of this study was to determine how coffee consumption affected PDPH metrics in post-cesarean section females. Adoption of a quasi-experimental (time series) design was done. Overall, 166 post-caesarean section women were enrolled.

A structured interview schedule and a headache evaluation tool for post-dural puncture patients were used to gather data. Compared to the control group, the study group exhibited reduced prevalence of PDPH,  mean PDPH severity, and analgesics need at the first, second, and third evaluations, as illustrated in Table 1:

Hence, there were significant differences in favor of the study group when compared to the control group in relation to PDPH incidence, severity, and analgesics need.
