Schematic study design. Pre HDTBR ICP measures will occur on BDC-13, with OCT measures before and after to assess for any acute changes on OCT resulting from the ICP session. OCT collected as a part of Standard Measures will be shared from BDC-3 to quantify OCT parameters after full recovery from th...
