Spinal cord fluid channels in Chiari and syringomyelia
Part of Brain & nervous system, Genetic & congenital clinical trials.
This study uses MRI scans to look at a small fluid-filled channel in the spinal cord of people with Chiari malformation or syringomyelia. It aims to better understand these conditions and may help guide future treatment decisions.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are 18 years or older
- You have Chiari malformation or syringomyelia (a fluid-filled cavity in the spinal cord)
- You are being seen at Bordeaux University Hospital for a first surgical consultation or ongoing care
- You are enrolled in a social security program (health insurance)
- You are able to give written informed consent
- You have not had previous surgery for Chiari malformation or a related brain malformation

This study aims to develop a new questionnaire that measures how Chiari malformation and syringomyelia affect your daily life. Researchers will ask you about your symptoms to create a tool that better reflects your experience.
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 routine MRI scans to measure water movement in the spine discs of children aged 8–16. It aims to understand normal disc health and how it changes in children with scoliosis (a curve in the spine).
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 uses MRI scans and looks at spinal fluid flow to better understand problems in the spinal cord after a neck (cervical) injury. It may help researchers learn what scan and fluid changes go along with these conditions.
This study examines spinal fluid from babies with spina bifida to better understand a related brain condition (Chiari II malformation). The information could help improve care for future babies with this condition.
