Epidural Blood Patch
A blood patch is an effective way to stop a headache that has been caused by a spinal procedure, such as a lumbar puncture (spinal tap or a myelogram) or placement of an epidural catheter.
An injection of a freshly drawn sample of blood from a vein in your arm is placed back into the epidural space. This most often causes the headache to go away immediately.
To be seen by one of our specialists, call 949-UCI-PAIN (949-824-7246) or request an appointment online.
