About this trial

This study will aim to investigate whether systemic inflammatory markers-especially the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR)-obtained from preoperative complete blood counts can predict the development of post-dural puncture headache (PDPH) in obstetric patients undergoing cesarean section under spinal anesthesia.
