PROPHYDRA: Role of Prophylaxis by Oral Fluid Supplementation in Prevention of Postdural Puncture Headache
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
Postdural puncture headache (PDPH) is defined, according to the International Headache Society, as any headache develops within 5 days after a lumbar puncture. It worsens within 15 minutes after sitting or standing and improves within 15 minutes after lying.
For preventing PDPH, there are some uncomfortable practices for patients (fluid supplementation and bed rest) and expensive for hospital (time spend for information and management of fluid intake). Patients are usually advised by nurses. If "bed rest" is not effective in prevention of PDPH, "fluid supplementation" is not an advice based on any evidence but only on routine. By this trial, the investigators want to evaluate the scientific value of this advice, in the standard patient care.
The primary objective of this study is to compare oral hyperhydration (2 liters during 2 hours after lumbar puncture - the most common routine according to an internal pilot survey) versus no advice about the fluid intake to prevent the PDPH.
The second objective is to observe the day of apparition of PDPH, between day 0 and day 5.

Detailed Description
Postdural puncture headache (PDPH) is defined, according to the International Headache Society, as any headache develops within 5 days after a lumbar puncture. It worsens within 15 minutes after sitting or standing and improves within 15 minutes after lying.
For preventing PDPH, there are some uncomfortable practices for patients (fluid supplementation and bed rest) and expensive for hospital (time spend for information and management of fluid intake). Patients are usually advised by nurses. If "bed rest" is not effective in prevention of PDPH, "fluid supplementation" is not an advice based on any evidence but only on routine. By this trial, the investigators want to evaluate the scientific value of this advice by non-inferiority study, in the standard patient care.
The primary objective of this study is to compare oral hyperhydration (2 liters during 2 hours after lumbar puncture - the most common routine according to an internal pilot survey) versus no advice about the fluid intake to prevent the PDPH. It will be evaluated on the occurrence of PDPH in both of the two groups The second objective is to observe the day of apparition of PDPH, between day 0 and day 5.
Study Design
Arms and Interventions
| Arm | Intervention/Treatment |
|---|---|
| No Intervention: Control group Routine advices about the interest of increase fluid after lumbar puncture to prevent PDPH will be transmitted: 2 liters will be provided to be drunk in 2 hours. |
|
| Experimental: Interventional group Lack of hyperhydration : no particular advices will be transmitted about the interest of oral hyperhydration. 500 milliliters will be provided in case of thirst, according to patient's convenience. |
Other: Lack of hyperhydration

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- The incidence of PDPH. [At D5]
PDPH will be observed on the 5th day (D5) after the lumbar puncture (D0). If PDPH is still present on the 5th day, the patient continues to be followed until the 8th day after the lumbar puncture
- The incidence of PDPH (in case of PDPH still present at D5). [At D8]
PDPH will be observed also on the 8th day (D8) after the lumbar puncture (D0). , if PDPH was still present on the 5th day, to confirm the diagnosis of PDPH.
Secondary Outcome Measures
- The date of apparition of PDPH between day 0 and day 5 [between day 0 and day 5]
