Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This observational study aims to identify diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers for idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH), a condition primarily affecting overweight females of childbearing age. It involves a multicenter, prospective cohort design where patients suspected of having IIH will be included based on specific criteria. Participants will undergo a series of evaluations, including medical history, neurological and ophthalmological examinations, neuro-imaging, and collection of blood and cerebrospinal fluid samples. The study will create a clinical database to track patient characteristics and outcomes over time.
