Below are recruiting idiopathic intracranial hypertension (iih) clinical trials, each written for real people, not researchers. We’re tracking 8 recruiting studies, each written for real people, not researchers, below.
Recruiting studies
- NCT07191873RecruitingPhase 4
Tirzepatide for treating high pressure in the brain
This trial tests if tirzepatide can help lower the pressure inside your skull caused by a condition called Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension. It's designed for people with a BMI of 30 or higher who have swelling of the optic nerve.
Durham, North CarolinaAges 18–60 - NCT04032379Recruiting
Study biomarkers to predict outcomes in idiopathic intracranial hypertension
This study looks at body measurements (“biomarkers”) to help doctors diagnose idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) and predict how it may go over time. If you’re an adult with a doctor’s concern for IIH, you may be asked to provide health information and possibly samples for testing.
Copenhagen, GlostrupAges 18 years+ - NCT05707442RecruitingPhase 3
Stent or standard treatment for idiopathic intracranial hypertension
This Phase 3 trial compares putting in a venous sinus stent versus using medicine alone for idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH). It aims to see which approach better protects vision and lowers pressure in the brain.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–60 - NCT06913712Recruiting
BMI and treatment response in IIH
This study looks at how body weight (BMI) affects how well people with Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension (IIH) respond to treatment. It may help doctors understand if weight influences symptom relief.
Valencia, ValenciaAges 18 years+ - NCT06919744Recruiting
Stenting for intracranial hypertension: early treatment study
This trial tests whether placing a small tube (stent) in a narrowed brain vein can help people with newly diagnosed intracranial hypertension (high pressure in the head) that causes vision problems. It is for those who have not yet taken standard medication and have specific vein narrowing seen on MRI.
MontpellierAges 18 years+ - NCT06945848Recruiting
Stenting for Intracranial Hypertension on Acetazolamide
This trial tests whether placing a stent (a small tube) in a narrowed brain vein can help reduce pressure in the head in people with Intracranial Hypertension who have been on acetazolamide for over a year. It may be an option if you still have high pressure despite medication.
MontpellierAges 18 years+ - NCT06950099Recruiting
Advanced Brain Scans for IIH Patients Planning Stenting
This study uses advanced brain scans (MRIs) to look at the veins in your brain to help plan a stenting procedure for patients with Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension (IIH) that is not improving with standard care.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18–55 - NCT07440277Recruiting
Shunt vs. stent for IIH with vision loss risk
This study compares two treatments for Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension (IIH) with severe papilledema (swollen optic nerves) and risk of vision loss: a CSF shunt (a tube to drain extra fluid) and a venous sinus stent (a mesh tube to open a narrowed vein). The goal is to see which works better and is more cost-effective.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for idiopathic intracranial hypertension (iih)?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 8 recruiting idiopathic intracranial hypertension (iih) studies from the U.S. registry, each rewritten for real people, not researchers, so you can see what it’s testing and who it’s for.
- How do I know if I qualify for a idiopathic intracranial hypertension (iih) trial?
- Each study lists its eligibility criteria — rules about age, diagnosis, and prior treatments. On every Clin2 trial page we explain these in words written for real people and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Does it cost anything to join a idiopathic intracranial hypertension (iih) trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what’s covered before you decide.
