Brief Summary:
The purpose of this study is to compare postlumbar puncture complaints as headache or backache after lumbar puncture with needles with Quincke design or with Sprotte design in children and adolescents
Detailed Description:
After lumbar puncture patients may develop complaints as position dependent headache other headache or backache Several though not all studies in adults showed that the frequency of complaints can be reduced by using non-traumatic Sprotte-design needles instead of cutting Quincke-design needles In children and adolescents there are no comparable data published In most pediatric hospitals in Germany Quincke needles are used
Comparison Children and adolescents from 4 to 18 years of age who have to undergo a lumbar puncture are randomly attributed to puncture with Quincke needle or with Sprotte needle During the following days headache main criterium position-dependent headache backache vomitus and malaise are noted Pain is measured with a visual analogue scalefaces scale
