Clinical trials: Cerebrospinal Fluid
CerebroSpinal Fluid (CSF) Leak
The Freiburg Registry on SpontanEous IntercrAnial Hypotension (SIH) & Post-duraL Puncture Headache (PDPH)
Spinal CSF leaks are considered as rare disease. They cause a variety of symptoms, mainly culminating in a chronic headache syndrome. Crucially, yet often disregarded, the disease holds the potential for cure.
