Tokyo, Aug. 2 -- UMIN Clinical Trials Registry (UMIN-CTR) received information related to the study (UMIN000058517) titled 'Quantification of respiratory fluctuations in spinal cerebrospinal fluid in normal volunteers' on Aug. 1.
Study Type:
Observational
Primary Sponsor:
Institute - Fukushima Medical University
Condition:
Condition - normal volunteer
Classification by malignancy - Others
Genomic information - NO
Objective:
Narrative objectives1 - There is a close relationship between breathing and the movement of cerebrospinal fluid within the spinal canal. It is known that tumors or nerves inside the spinal canal can shift due to breathing, which is believed to contribute to cerebrospinal fluid movement. While previous reports have documented this fluid movement, they primarily rely on specialized MRI imaging and analysis techniques used for research purposes. These methods are time-consuming and not widely applicable in clinical settings. In this study, we aim to measure cerebrospinal fluid movement and evaluate its extent using the Time-SLIP MRI technique, a standard imaging method available in conventional MRI scanners.
