Sumario:To evaluate the efficacy of modified sphenopalatine ganglion block (MSPGB) to reduce the severity of post-dural puncture headache (PDPH). Five adult patients of both genders with age >18 years having PDPH intractable to conservative management were given modified sphenopalatine block in the postoperative period, and numeric rating scale (NRS) was recorded at regular intervals till the hospital discharge. MSPGB is a simple, noninvasive technique that provides instantaneous symptomatic relief in PDPH.
