Brief Summary   Abstract:
Post dural puncture headache is one of the most disturbing problem for patients in the post operative period. It occurs after spinal anaesthesia induction due to dural and subarachanoid punture and has a sgnificant effect on the patient’s post operative well being. To compare the incidence of post dural headache in younger and older age groups i.e (20-40), >40.

Introduction:
Gender and age are independent risk factors in the development of post dural punture headache. The incidence of pdph, was higher in younger patients as a factor of age. Some data indicate that there is no significant difference in the incidence of pdph in terms of gender. However, other random data suggest that women may have a higer incidence od pdph than males. It is accepted that women have a higher incidence of headaches such as tention types and migraine. There may also be difference in pain sensation processing in women. Women have greater sensitivity to experimentally induced pain. Finally, some data have also suggested that sex hormones may also affect pain sensation due to inconsistencies, we aimed to determine the effect of age and gender on incidence of pdph in our study.

Aim:
To compare the incidence of post dural punture headache amongst all people undergoing spinal anaesthesia above the age of 20 in all genders using 25g quincke spinal needle and 25g whitacre spinal needle.
