Article Synopsis
- An FDA-approved non-invasive intracranial pressure (ICP) monitoring system was used to study variations in ICP waveforms across different age groups to assess intracranial compliance in healthy volunteers.
- The study involved 188 healthy participants aged 9 to 74, measuring the non-invasive ICP waveform, P2/P1 ratio, and time-to-peak over a 5-minute period while lying down.
- Results showed that men had lower P2/P1 ratios and time-to-peak than women, with both measures increasing with age, highlighting the need for more extensive research to establish reference values for health assessments.
