Background: The current study was carried out to evaluate the association of socio-clinical variables with Post Dural Puncture Headache (PDPH) in the obstetrics and obstetrics patients. Post-dural puncture headache are well- known complications of neuraxial anesthesia in parturients.

And according to gender 21% were Male, 79% were Female. And according to BMI (n=120). According to BMI distribution the <18.5 (underweight range), 18.5 to <24.9 (Normal), 25-29.9 (Overweight) and ≥30.0 (Obese) were 15(12.5%), 55(45.83%), 35(29.16%) and 15(12.5%) respectfully. Conclusions: We concluded that in the present study about obstetric populace had better prevalence of PDPH in contrast to obstetric population. PDPH was once related with enhanced quantity of efforts; sorts of method used, and begin of ambulation.
