TI  - Evaluation of the effects of resting in appearance of post lumbar puncture 
      headache.
PG  - 43-5
AB  - Lumbar puncture (LP) is a procedure for obtaining spinal fluid from spinal 
      meningeal spaces this can be done as a diagnostic or therapeutic procedure which 
      can result in to a typical positional headache named as post lumbar puncture 
      headache .This can cause a lot of discomforts for patients and makes fear from 
      the procedure. This study designed to evaluate the effect of resting position 
      after LP on post lumbar puncture headache (PLPH). Patients who had a diagnostic 
      lumbar puncture were divided randomly in two groups .Group A patients had one 
      hour rest in the supine position while group B patients had one hour rest in the 
      prone position. Both groups followed for appearance of symptoms of PLPH for 5 
      days. 119 patients completed the study, 57 (48%) male patients and 62 (52%) 
      female .PLPH totally appeared in 38 (31.9%) patients .In the group A PLPH was 
      present in 20 patients whereas in group B it was present in 18 patients. 
      Statistical analysis showed no significant differences between two groups 
      (P>0.07). Position of rest after LP has no significant effect on reducing post 
      lumbar puncture headache and there is no need to emphasize on position of rest 
      after LP.
