INTRACRANIAL PRESSURE

This study tested whether a weight-loss drug (semaglutide) combined with a very low-calorie diet could help people with idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH), a condition where high brain pressure causes headaches and vision problems. 38 adults with new-onset IIH and obesity…

This study looked at 208 adults with severe brain injuries from bleeding or trauma. Researchers continuously measured brain temperature and pressure to find patterns. The goal was to see if these patterns could predict how well patients would recover 30 days later. This was an ob…

This study looked at 100 people having routine spinal taps to see if the pressure inside their skull is related to their body fat percentage. Researchers used a special machine called a Bod Pod to measure body fat without radiation. The goal was to better understand this connecti…

This study looked at 63 women having laparoscopic hysterectomy surgery while tilted head-down. Researchers compared two anesthetics, sevoflurane and desflurane, to see how they affected pressure inside the head by measuring the nerve sheath at the back of the eye using ultrasound…

This study looked at whether ultrasound measurements of the optic nerve sheath (the lining around the eye nerve) can detect changes in brain pressure during open-heart surgery that uses a heart-lung machine. Researchers measured this in 40 adults undergoing elective heart surgery…

This study looked at 309 older adults with a type of heart failure called HFpEF to understand why some develop atrial fibrillation (AFib), an irregular heartbeat. Researchers measured fluid pressure in the body and brain using ultrasound and found that higher pressure in the vein…

This study used a special helmet to measure brain pressure in 60 hospitalized COVID-19 patients, comparing them to people without COVID-19. The goal was to see if changes in brain pressure relate to neurological symptoms like confusion or headache. No needles or surgery were invo…
