NCT ID NCT05762367
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at the brain's lymphatic system in 40 women with idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH), a condition causing severe headaches and vision loss. Researchers used a special MRI technique to compare lymphatic vessels in patients and healthy controls. The goal was to understand how these vessels might contribute to fluid buildup and disease progression.
