Quality of life in people with Chiari malformation type 1
Part of Brain & nervous system, Genetic & congenital clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed with Chiari malformation type 1.
- If you had surgery, it was a specific type called posterior fossa decompression.
- If you didn't have surgery, your diagnosis was made during a visit to a neurosurgery clinic.
- You do not have spina bifida.
- If you didn't have surgery, you haven't had certain other brain surgeries (like duraplasty).

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.
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 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 tests a French questionnaire about quality of life for people with meningioma, a type of brain tumor. It aims to better understand how the disease affects daily life and to improve care.
This study looks at what helps adults with spinal deformity have a better quality of life one year after surgery. It may help doctors understand which patients benefit most and how to improve follow-up care.
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.
