Summary
This study is for people with idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) who have been on medication for over a year without enough relief. It tests whether placing a small tube (stent) in a narrowed brain vein can lower brain pressure and ease symptoms like vision loss, headache, and ringing in the ears. Half of the 114 participants will get the stent plus standard care, while the other half gets standard care alone. The study will track pressure changes and whether patients can stop their medication safely.
