20241 citationOpen accessOctober 6 University

Abstract

The study indicates metformin's potential as a disease-modifying treatment in IIH, with improvements across multiple outcomes independent of weight loss. This suggests complex mechanisms at play, supporting further research through prospective clinical trials to confirm metformin's role in IIH management and its mechanisms of action.
