First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated May 22, 2026 · Updated 29 times
Summary
This study tests whether placing a small tube (stent) in a narrowed brain vein can lower high pressure inside the skull and improve symptoms like vision loss, headache, and ringing in the ears. About 114 adults with newly diagnosed idiopathic intracranial hypertension will be randomly assigned to either standard care (medication and weight loss) or standard care plus the stent procedure. Researchers will check if the stent helps resolve optic nerve swelling and normalize pressure at 3 months, with follow-up up to one year.
