NCT ID NCT00795080
First seen Jan 04, 2026 · Last updated May 13, 2026 · Updated 24 times
Summary
This study uses MRI scans to measure how different neck positions change the flow of cerebrospinal fluid (the fluid around the brain and spinal cord) in people with Chiari malformations and healthy volunteers. Researchers aim to understand which neck positions affect fluid flow most, which could help predict surgical outcomes. About 50 participants aged 12 and older will be scanned while flexing and extending their necks.
