Spinal canal study for Chiari malformation
Part of Brain & nervous system, Genetic & congenital clinical trials.
This study looks at the spinal canal in people with Chiari malformation to understand how it relates to syringomyelia, a fluid-filled cyst in the spinal cord. It may help improve future diagnosis and treatment.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are an adult (18 years or older).
- You have Chiari malformation, with or without syringomyelia.
- You are being treated or evaluated at Bordeaux University Hospital.
- You have not had prior surgery for Chiari malformation or related conditions.
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding.
- You can have an MRI (no metal implants or other contraindications).

This study is developing a new questionnaire to measure the symptoms and impact of Chiari malformation and syringomyelia. By participating, you can help create a better tool for doctors to understand and treat these conditions.
This study aims to understand how Chiari malformation type 1 affects your daily life and well-being. By filling out a survey, you can help researchers learn more about the challenges people with this condition face.
This trial tests two surgical options for people with a spinal cord injury or infection that caused a fluid-filled cavity (syrinx) in the spine. It compares a new type of bypass surgery with a procedure to remove scar tissue, to see which helps improve symptoms better.
This study uses MRI to look at how fluid moves around the brain in people with Chiari malformation type I, a condition where brain tissue extends into the spinal canal. It aims to improve understanding of the condition and may help with future treatment decisions.
This study uses special MRI scans to measure how fluid moves around the brain and spinal cord. It may help researchers better understand craniovertebral junction (CVJ) and Chiari I malformations by comparing fluid-flow patterns during neck movement.
This study looks at the fluid around the brain and spinal cord (called cerebrospinal fluid or CSF) in newborns and fetuses with spina bifida, compared to babies without the condition. The goal is to understand how this fluid may affect brain development, which could lead to better treatments in the future.
