NCT ID NCT07001059
First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated May 08, 2026 · Updated 31 times
Summary
This study is testing whether measuring the optic nerve sheath with ultrasound can reliably diagnose giant cell arteritis (GCA), a condition that inflames blood vessels and can lead to blindness. Researchers will enroll 190 people over age 50 with suspected GCA and compare ultrasound measurements to a final expert diagnosis after 6 months. If successful, this simple, non-invasive test could speed up diagnosis and treatment.
