Could your period change brain pressure during surgery?

NCT ID NCT07539831

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study looks at whether the phase of a woman's menstrual cycle affects the optic nerve sheath diameter, a measure linked to brain pressure, during laparoscopic gynecologic surgery. Researchers will compare women in the follicular and luteal phases, also tracking nausea and cognitive function after surgery. The goal is to understand if hormonal shifts influence surgical outcomes, but this is an observational study with no treatment being tested.
