Long-term headache outcomes in childhood pseudotumor cerebri
Part of Brain & nervous system, Pain clinical trials.
This trial is studying how headaches from pseudotumor cerebri (a condition of increased pressure around the brain) change over 10 years in people who were diagnosed as children. It might help doctors understand the long-term effects of this condition.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You were diagnosed with pseudotumor cerebri (also called idiopathic intracranial hypertension) as a child (under 18).
- You do not have other types of headaches besides those caused by pseudotumor cerebri.

This study uses detailed eye measurements to compare findings in people with pseudotumor cerebri and in healthy eyes. It may help researchers understand how pupil responses and eye structure change with pseudotumor cerebri.
This study follows children who had moderate to severe head injuries to see if their pituitary gland (which controls growth and other hormones) was affected. Researchers want to understand long-term health effects and improve care for injured children.
This trial is a registry study that tracks people with various headache disorders over time. It aims to learn more about how headaches affect patients and to improve future care.
This study looks at children with tumors in the back part of the brain (the posterior fossa) to understand what affects their recovery after surgery. It may help doctors better predict outcomes for similar cases.
This study looks at ways to help children and teens with migraine headaches by testing a care approach that includes access to evidence-based treatment. It may help if your child has frequent migraine headaches and is starting (or not already on) certain migraine-preventive medicines.
This study looks at “brain biomarkers,” meaning brain signals measured on MRI and thinking/learning tests on a computer. It may help researchers understand how brain tumors affect the brain and track changes over time.
