    Post-spinal backache affects about 13.1% of patients after spinal anesthesia. Using atraumatic techniques and small needles can reduce this common complication.

    Area of Science:

    • Anesthesiology
    • Neurosurgery
    • Pain Management

    Context:

    • Spinal anesthesia is a common procedure for lower body surgeries.
    • Post-spinal headache is a well-known complication.
    • Post-spinal backache is a frequently overlooked source of patient morbidity.

    Purpose:

    • To determine the incidence of post-spinal backache.
    • To identify factors predisposing to post-spinal backache.
    • To explore methods for reducing post-spinal backache.

    Summary:

    • A prospective study followed 697 patients undergoing spinal anesthesia.
    • The incidence of post-spinal backache was found to be 13.1%.
    • Atraumatic techniques and small-gauge needles significantly reduced its occurrence.
