[3] J S Sprigge, found a beneficial effect of Sumatriptan in an obstetric patient who had history of dural puncture for 3 times. [4] Another group of researchers found that only 1out of 5 patients had symptomatic relief. [5] Most of the research has been done with intra-venous or intra-muscular Sumatriptan, while we administered it orally. We were able to successfully achieve more than 90% pain relief in the first patient; however, the second patient had only 50% pain relief. PDPH is very distressing for the patient, and Sumatriptan could have a beneficial role in the non-invasive management of PDPH. It can be tried in patients with no significant cardiac
