摘要

Spaceflight-associated neuro-ocular syndrome (SANS) poses a significant risk for astronauts, being linked to intracranial pressure (ICP) changes in microgravity. Investigating ICP in space has been challenging. We evaluated a telemetric lumbar ICP monitoring system that shows promise for investigating microgravity-induced intracranial pressure changes in astronauts. Despite limitations in pulse amplitude analysis and pressure underestimation, the system’s long-term stability and overall performance support its recommendation for SANS research in space.
