Primary outcomePrimary: Change in Optic Nerve Sheath Diameter by Ultrasonography — 0.02; 0.02 mm — p=0.98
Summary
The purpose of this study is to determine whether increased pressure in the head is elevated in people who suffer from High Altitude Headache. We hypothesise that head pressure will be elevated in people with High Altitude Headache.
