Abstract
OBJECTIVE The study aimed to determine the effects of caffeine consumption and sleep on post-spinal headache after spinal anesthesia. BACKGROUND Post-spinal headache is among the most well-known and common complications of spinal anesthesia. Although caffeine consumption is recommended to prevent headache after spinal anesthesia, caffeine does not prevent headache and causes sleep-related problems. No study in the literature found a correlation between sleep and caffeine consumption after spinal anesthesia and post-spinal headache. METHODS The research is a descriptive and cross-sectional study. The study sample comprised 425 patients who underwent elective surgery in a research hospital. The research data were collected by face-to-face interviews between April 2021 and December 2023. The "Sociodemographic and Clinical Characteristics Form," "Richard-Campbell Sleep Scale," "Insomnia Severity Index," and "Visual Analog Scale" were used in data collection. Factors affecting post-spinal headache were determined using binary logistic regression analysis. RESULTS According to the binary logistic regression, the insomnia severity score (OR = 1.234; p < .001), sleep quality score (OR = .992; p < .01), postoperative sleep duration (OR = .619; p < .05), and not consuming coffee (OR = .035; p < .001) are statistically significant predictors of post-spinal headache and explain 57.7% of the variance. A one-unit increase in patients' insomnia severity increased the probability of experiencing a post-spinal headache by 23.4%. With a one-unit increase in sleep quality, there was an 8% decrease in the probability of experiencing spinal headache, and a 3.81% decrease in the probability of experiencing post-spinal headache with an increase in sleep duration after surgery. The probability of experiencing post-spinal headache was 0.35 times higher in individuals who did not consume caffeine after surgery than in those who consumed it. CONCLUSION The present study demonstrated that insomnia severity and sleep quality were more effective than caffeine consumption in preventing post-spinal headache. Insomnia and decreased sleep quality may cause a significant burden in developing post-spinal headache in patients and may cause post-spinal headache to be observed more frequently. Therefore, the use of caffeine in preventing or reducing post-spinal headache may adversely affect the duration and quality of sleep and increase the severity of insomnia.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE In this study, we evaluated the effects of a cup of coffee given to patients before surgery in a cesarean section by means of intraoperative hypotension, ephedrine requirement, and the incidence of post-dural puncture headache (PDPH). METHODS A total of 140 patients undergoing elective cesarean section with spinal anesthesia were included in this study. Participants who drank a single cup of filtered coffee two hours before spinal anesthesia were included in the coffee group, and those who drank water were in the control group. In each group, 70 patients were included. Hemodynamic parameters were recorded every three to five minutes after spinal anesthesia. Intraoperative use of ephedrine was recorded. The PDPH was monitored for three days. RESULTS The incidence of intraoperative hypotension was 48.6% in the coffee group and 71.4% in the control group (p = 0.006). The rate of ephedrine usage (25.7%) was significantly lower in the coffee group (p = 0.001). The incidence of PDPH in the first 24 hours (2.9%) was significantly lower in the coffee group (11.4%). The visual analog scale (VAS) score was similar between groups (p = 0.048, p > 0.05). CONCLUSIONS Consumption of a single cup of coffee before spinal anesthesia reduced the incidence of intraoperative hypotension and the rate of ephedrine usage in cesarean sections.

Abstract
Caffeine is the world's most widely used psychoactive legal substance. The involvement of caffeine in pain management has gotten minimal attention in the past, but it is getting more attention now. This article provides a brief assessment of the literature to clarify the role of caffeine as a pain reliever and stimulate the interest of researchers. Caffeine affects adenosine receptors, which are involved in nociception, and plays a significant role in pain regulation. Caffeine's usage as an adjuvant therapy has been extensively documented in the literature, and it is now accessible in certain over-the-counter drugs. The mixture of coffee and morphine for pain reduction in individuals with terminal cancer has shown mixed outcomes in studies. Caffeine can be utilized for hypnic headaches and post-dural puncture headaches since it is crucial in pain regulation. Caffeine has the potential to help in pain management. Caffeine's usage for migraines and end-stage cancer disease is not well acknowledged. Further research is essential to focus on caffeine's potential role in various forms of pain, including dosage escalation and outcome assessment standardization.

Abstract
Background Spinal anesthesia is the most commonly used anesthesia technique for Cesarean delivery with 80%–95% prevalence. The most common complication of SA is post-dural puncture Headache which is associated with dural puncture & Cerebrospinal fluid leak. This study aimed to assess the incidence and associated factors of post-dural puncture headache. Methods single-armed cohort study design was employed on 412 women from May 2021 to January 2022. Study subjects were selected using systematic random sampling. Descriptive statistics for each variable, binary logistic regression, and multiple logistic regression analysis with 95% CI was carried out. Results The overall incidence of post-dural puncture headache in this study was 25.7%. 43.9% of Post dural headache was detected in the 1st 24 h followed by 48 h. Of those who develop Post-dural headaches, 54.1% of them had mild pain, 17.3% of them was moderate pain and 28.6% of them suffered severe pain. The multivariable analysis indicated that BMI>30 kg/m2 [AOR 2.85 95% CI: 1.91–4.25], number of attempts (>3), (AOR = 1.5, 95% CI: 1.19–1.91), and cephalic needle direction (AOR = 5.79 95% CI: 2.27–12.22), were factors associated with increased post-dural puncture headache. While large gauge needle size (AOR = 0.28 95% CI: 0.19–0.42), and greater than 3 years of experience of anesthetist (AOR = 0.44, 95% CI: 0.31–0.62) were associated with decreased incidence of post-dural puncture headache. Conclusion The incidence of post-dural puncture headache was higher in BMI>30 kg/m2, greater than 3-time attempts during spinal anesthesia, using low gauge spinal needles, less than 3 years of experience as anesthetist and cephalic needle direction. Incidence of post-dural puncture headache was 25.7% of this 43.9% of PDPH happen in the first 24 h. 54.1% of mothers who develop PDPH had mild pain while 17.3% and 28.6% of them suffered moderate and severe pain respectively. Large size spinal needle, greater than 3 attempts, cephalic needle direction, BMI >30 kg/m2, and experience of anesthetist less than 3 years' were factors associated with increased incidence of PDPH.

Abstract
Background: Post-dural puncture headache (PDPH) is a common complication of spinal anesthesia. It often goes away after a few days but may be more severe in some patients and persists for weeks. Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the effect of oral magnesium on the prevention of PDPH after cesarean section for the first time. Methods: In this double-blind, randomized clinical trial, 100 candidates for elective cesarean section under spinal anesthesia were randomly divided into 2 groups: (i) the intervention group that received 300 mg of oral magnesium powder and (ii) the control group that received starch powder. The frequency and severity of headache and amount of analgesic consumption in both groups were measured 1, 2, and 3 days after cesarean section. Data were analyzed using SPSS version 22 at 95% CI. Results: The frequency of PDPH 1, 2, and 3 days after surgery was 8% vs 24% (P = 0.029), 10% vs 26% (P = 0.039), and 12% vs 18% (P = 0.401) in the intervention and control groups, respectively. The mean and SD of pain severity was 0.52 ± 1.83 vs 1.5 ± 2.84 (P = 0.03) on the first day, 0.70 ± 2.19 vs 1.58 ± 2.86 (P = 0.05) on the second day, and 0.82 ± 2.32 vs 1.18 ± 2.62 on the third day (P = 0.43) in the intervention and control groups, respectively. Although more patients in the control group received rescue analgesia, no significant difference was seen between the 2 study groups. Conclusions: In women candidates for cesarean section, oral administration of 300 mg magnesium 2 hours before surgery significantly reduces the frequency and severity of PDPH, but its impact on reducing analgesic consumption is not significant.

Abstract
Caffeine use in the population is widespread. Caffeine withdrawal in the hospital setting is an underappreciated syndrome with symptoms including drowsiness, difficulty concentrating, mood disturbances, low motivation, flu-like symptoms, and headache. Withdrawal may occur upon abstinence from chronic daily exposure at doses as low as 100 mg/day and following only 3-7 days of consumption at higher doses. There are limited data investigating how caffeine withdrawal contributes to hospital morbidity. Some studies suggest caffeine withdrawal may contribute to intensive care delirium and that caffeine may promote wakefulness post-anesthesia. Caffeine supplementation has also shown promise in patients at risk of caffeine withdrawal, such as those placed on nil per os (NPO) status, in preventing caffeine withdrawal headache. These data on caffeine supplementation are not entirely consistent, and routine caffeine administration has not been implemented into clinical practice for patients at risk of withdrawal. Notably, caffeine serves a therapeutic role in the hospital for other conditions. Our review demonstrates that caffeine is largely safe in the general population and may be an appropriate therapeutic option for future studies, if administered properly. There is a need for a randomized controlled trial investigating in-hospital caffeine supplementation and the population that this would best serve.

Abstract
Spontaneous intracranial hypotension (SIH) is a rare neurological condition caused by low cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) volume, most commonly due to a CSF leak. The most common presenting symptom is an orthostatic headache, but some patients may present with atypical neurological manifestations such as cranial nerve palsies, an altered mental status, and movement disorders, which complicate the clinical diagnosis. Therefore, the diagnosis is based on the combination of clinical signs and symptoms, neuroimaging, and/or a low cerebrospinal fluid pressure. In this review, we describe the wide variety of neurological manifestations and complications seen in patients with SIH as well as the most common features described on imaging studies, including both subjective and objective measurements, in order to lead the clinician to a correct diagnosis. The prompt and correct management of patients with SIH will help prevent the development of life-threatening complications, such as subdural hematomas, cerebral venous thrombosis, and coma, and avoid unnecessary invasive procedures.

Abstract
Methylated xanthines (methylxanthines) are available from a significant number of different botanical species. They are ordinarily included in daily diet, in many extremely common beverages and foods. Caffeine, theophylline and theobromine are the main methylxanthines available from natural sources. The supposedly relatively low toxicity of methylxanthines, combined with the many beneficial effects that have been attributed to these compounds through time, generated a justified attention and a very prolific ground for dedicated scientific reports. Methylxanthines have been widely used as therapeutical tools, in an intriguing range of medicinal scopes. In fact, methylxanthines have been/were medically used as Central Nervous System stimulants, bronchodilators, coronary dilators, diuretics and anti-cancer adjuvant treatments. Other than these applications, methylxanthines have also been hinted to hold other beneficial health effects, namely regarding neurodegenerative diseases, cardioprotection, diabetes and fertility. However, it seems now consensual that toxicity concerns related to methylxanthine consumption and/or therapeutic use should not be dismissed. Taking all the knowledge and expectations on the potential of methylxanthines into account, we propose a systematic look at the past and future of methylxanthine pharmacologic applications, discussing all the promise and anticipating possible constraints. Anyways, methylxanthines will still substantiate considerable meaningful research and discussion for years to come.

Abstract
CONTEXT Caffeine is the most commonly used psychoactive legal drug in the world. Caffeine's role in controlling pain has received less attention in the past, yet is being increasingly considered. This article briefly reviewed the literature to clarify the role of caffeine as a drug for pain control and attract investigators to this topic. EVIDENCE ACQUISITION The data on Caffeine as an adjuvant therapy or as a main component for pain modulation has been narratively reviewed. RESULTS Caffeine plays an important role in pain modulation through their action on adenosine receptors which are involved in nociception. The use of caffeine as adjuvant treatment was well-established in the literature and caffeine is currently available in some over the counter medications. Studies showed controversial results about the interaction between caffeine and morphine for pain relief in patients with terminal stage cancer. As a main component for pain modulation, Caffeine can be used for hypnic headache and postdural puncture headache. CONCLUSIONS Caffeine has a potential role for pain modulation. Current evidence on caffeine use for migraine and terminal stage cancer is not well-established. Future studies should address the use of caffeine alone for different types of pain with dose escalation and standardization of outcome measurement.
