NCT ID NCT07407972
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at 53 adults having ear surgery (tympanoplasty) with their head turned to the side. Doctors used ultrasound to measure the optic nerve sheath diameter, which can indicate pressure inside the skull. The goal was to see if the sideways head position changes that pressure. The study did not test any treatment, only observed changes during surgery.
