The Relationship Between Post Dural Puncture Headache and Joint Laxity

Post-spinal headache is divided into 3 according to the severity scale. It is divided into 3 groups as mild, moderate and severe according to the presence of symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, and dizziness that prevent daily activity. It has been reported that CSF leakage may be higher due to the weakness of the regional dural sac in primary connective tissue diseases with joint laxity and isolated joint hypermobility. Joint laxity is scored according to the level of motion in 5 different joints and a maximum of 9 points is obtained. In this study, it was aimed to investigate whether joint laxity contributes to the development of post-spinal headache by questioning the correlation between joint laxity examination score and postspinal headache in patients with post-spinal headache.
