Prospective Ocular Imaging for Intracranial Pressure Evaluation
This study is looking at pictures and videos of a tiny pulse at the back of your eye. This pulse can disappear when the pressure around your brain is too high. Researchers want to see if a computer program can learn to spot this pulse to help doctors check brain pressure without needing painful tests.

Glucagone Like Peptide-1 Receptor (GLP-1R) Analogue Assisted Rapid Weight Loss Program as treatment of Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension
This study looks at whether certain weight-loss medications (Wegovy, Ozempic) can help people with a condition called Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension (IIH). Researchers want to see if losing weight quickly with these medicines can improve brain pressure and other symptoms over 8 weeks and then 10 months.

IIH Pressure - a new treatment for raised brain pressure in Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension
Idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) causes high fluid pressure around the brain, leading to severe headaches and vision problems. This UK study investigates whether a diabetes and weight-loss drug called exenatide, along with other medicines, can safely lower brain pressure using a small fitted pressure sensor to track results.

Cerebrospinal fluid shunting or dural venous sinus stenting to preserve vision in idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH Intervention)
Idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) causes high pressure around the brain that can threaten your sight. This UK study compares two standard operations: inserting a small drainage tube (shunt) or a tiny mesh tube (stent). The aim is to discover which treatment best protects your vision and helps the NHS.

IIH Provoke: headache mechanisms in idiopathic intracranial hypertension
Idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) causes raised pressure around the brain, leading to severe headaches. This UK study explores what triggers these headaches. Researchers will use a small implanted sensor to monitor brain pressure and test whether a specific medication can help reduce pressure and relieve headache pain.

IIH-Advance: A randomised clinical trial to determine the effects of weight loss, induced by a weight loss drug (Tirzepatide), in adults with active idiopathic intracranial hypertension
This study looks at whether a weight loss drug, Tirzepatide, can help adults with a condition called Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension (IIH). IIH causes high pressure in the head, leading to headaches and eye problems. We want to see if losing weight with this drug can improve these symptoms.

Prevention of chronic headache with anti-CGRP antibody treatment in patients with idiopathic intracranial hypertension
This study is looking into a new treatment for chronic headaches in people with a condition called idiopathic intracranial hypertension. It's testing if a medicine that blocks a certain protein can help reduce or prevent these headaches. This is a big study, aiming to confirm if the treatment works.
