New research reveals potential new treatments for intracranial hypertension (IIH) or traumatic brain injury (TBI). GLP-1 receptor agonists & CGRP blockers—already used for diabetes & migraine—could be repurposed for IIH & TBI.

The IIH Intervention trials seeks to answers which procedure is best Shunt vs Stent - this is in the top most important questions asked by patients. @IIHUK

[Translational Brain Science Research Birmingham UK @BrainLabBhamUk]

George Tsermoulas @UHBNeurosurgery - we don’t know which is the best procedure, shunt vs stent for #IIH. Need to educate doctors about the research data which shows pros and cons of both. @IIHUK
