Advanced Brain Scans for IIH Patients Planning Stenting
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have IIH that hasn't gotten better with usual treatments.
- You are scheduled to have a venous sinus stenting procedure.
- You have not had a serious head injury, a shunt placement, or a brain fluid leak repair.
- You do not have another major ongoing pain problem that's not in your head.
- You are able to safely have an MRI scan (no metal implants or other issues).

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.
This trial tests whether placing a small tube (stent) in a brain vein can relieve pressure inside the skull, which may help with headaches and vision problems. It is for people with a condition called idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH), where pressure builds up without a known cause.
This study tests a new stent (a tiny mesh tube) that is placed inside a narrowed vein in the brain to help relieve the high pressure that causes symptoms like headaches and vision problems in people with IIH. It may help improve symptoms by opening up the narrowed vein.
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.
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.
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.
