Could a simple scan replace painful spinal taps for brain pressure?
NCT ID NCT06571786
Summary
This study tested a new, noninvasive ultrasound technique to measure pressure inside the skull. Researchers compared the new scan, which uses a special contrast agent, to the standard method of a lumbar puncture (spinal tap) in 19 adults. The goal was to see if the painless scan could accurately measure brain pressure without needing a needle in the spine.
