Registry for people with spinal fluid leak headache
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This registry study collects information from people diagnosed with spontaneous intracranial hypotension (a type of spinal fluid leak headache) to better understand the condition. You may help by providing MRI results and follow-up information over about 3 months.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed with spinal fluid leak headache (spontaneous intracranial hypotension) using accepted headache criteria
- Your imaging (scan) shows a specific cause, like a CSF-venous fistula, confirmed by your doctor
- You have had a contrast-enhanced MRI that your clinician says is positive for this condition
- You must have a negative pregnancy test at the start of the study and again 3 months later
- You can give informed consent and plan to complete follow-up visits for about 90 days

This study compares two specialized imaging techniques to help diagnose spontaneous spinal fluid leaks (a rare condition causing severe headaches). The goal is to improve how doctors identify where the leak is coming from so patients can get the right treatment.
This study looks at what causes low spinal fluid pressure (intracranial hypotension) and how to treat it. It may help people who have symptoms like severe headache when upright.
This trial compares two different substances injected into the spine to treat spontaneous intracranial hypotension—a condition where spinal fluid pressure is too low, causing severe headaches. The study tests whether platelet-rich plasma (a concentrated blood product) works better than regular whole blood for sealing the leak.
This study uses MRI to look at how spinal fluid moves inside and around the brain. It aims to better understand conditions that can affect thinking, memory, balance, and coordination—such as normal pressure hydrocephalus—or compare with healthy people.
This registry collects information from people with suspected spinal CSF leak (a condition where fluid leaks from around your spine) or headaches after a spinal procedure. By joining, you help researchers learn more about these conditions and improve future care.
This study looks for spinal fluid leaks in people with chronic subdural hematoma (a slow buildup of blood on the brain). It uses MRI to find a possible cause, which could help improve treatment.
