Eye blood flow in idiopathic intracranial hypertension
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study looks at how blood flows to the eyes in people with idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH), a condition where pressure builds up inside the skull. It compares these patients with healthy volunteers to better understand the disease and could lead to better treatments.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older.
- You have been diagnosed with idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) for the first time, or your IIH symptoms have come back.
- You do not smoke.
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding, and if you could become pregnant, you are using effective birth control.
- You do not have other serious eye or brain conditions (like epilepsy, diabetes, brain tumors, or a history of stroke).

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study uses eye scans to see if changes in the retina can help doctors measure pressure inside the skull. It may help find a safer way to check for high pressure in the brain without needing a needle in the back.
This trial is studying how changes in blood pressure affect the tiny blood vessels in the back of the eye (retina). It may help people with high blood pressure understand how treatment impacts their eye health.
This study compares eye blood-flow/brain-eye communication signals in people with glaucoma (or high eye pressure) versus people with normal eye tests. It may help researchers understand how glaucoma develops and progresses.
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.
This study measures how eye pressure and standard eye-function tests perform in people with normal eyes, higher eye pressure, or early signs of glaucoma. It may help researchers understand who is at risk and how best to monitor eye health before or during glaucoma.
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.
