Tiny brain stent trial offers hope for debilitating pressure headaches

NCT ID NCT06945848

Summary

This study is testing if placing a small stent (a tiny mesh tube) in a narrowed vein in the brain can help reduce high pressure inside the skull for people with idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH). Participants, who have had IIH for over a year and still have symptoms like headaches and vision problems despite medication, will be randomly assigned to receive either standard medical care or standard care plus the stent procedure. Researchers will track changes in skull pressure, headaches, vision, and other symptoms over 12 months to see if the stent helps.
