Recruiting studies in Florida
- NCT04011566Recruiting
Testing a shunt sensor in people with symptom-free hydrocephalus shunts
This study checks how well a device called ShuntCheck works for monitoring a ventriculoperitoneal (VP) shunt in people who feel okay (no symptoms) with normal pressure hydrocephalus. It may help improve future shunt checks during routine care.
Tampa, FloridaAges 40 years+ - NCT04177914RecruitingPhase 3
Compare endoscopy vs shunt surgery for infant hydrocephalus
This Phase 3 study compares two common surgery options to treat hydrocephalus (extra fluid in the brain) in infants. It aims to find which approach works better and is safer for babies who have symptoms and need a first permanent treatment.
Orlando, FloridaAges 1 day–2 years - NCT04309487Recruiting
Check shunt blockage using ShuntCheck versus a scan
This study tests whether a device called ShuntCheck can accurately tell if a VP (ventriculoperitoneal) shunt is blocked in people with normal pressure hydrocephalus. If it works well, it may help doctors find shunt problems faster and more safely.
Tampa, FloridaAges 40 years+ - NCT06086561Recruiting
Testing a wireless device to monitor CSF shunt flow
This study tests a new wireless device that measures fluid flow in a CSF shunt (a tube that drains fluid from the brain). You may join if you have a shunt under your skin across your collarbone and can use or be nearby the device for a month.
Tampa, FloridaAges 5–80 - NCT06368648Recruiting
Study of a new forehead sensor for brain pressure monitoring
This study tests a new sensor that measures brain pressure from outside the head. It is for people who are already in the hospital getting their brain pressure and blood pressure monitored continuously.

What taking part in a hydrocephalus study involves
A screening visit first
Before anything else, the study team checks whether you fit — usually a visit with some tests. You can stop at any point, and screening is typically free.
Care at a nearby site
Study visits happen at a clinic or hospital taking part. Many studies cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits, and some reimburse travel.
You stay in control
Taking part is voluntary and you can leave a study at any time, for any reason, without affecting your regular care.
The team decides eligibility
Our fit check is a helpful first read, not a decision. The study team makes the final call after reviewing your health history.

Common questions
- Are there hydrocephalus clinical trials in Florida?
- Yes. We're currently tracking 5 recruiting hydrocephalus studies with a site in Florida, each rewritten in plain language so you can see what it's testing and who it's for.
- How do I find out if I qualify for a hydrocephalus study in Florida?
- Each study lists its eligibility rules — age, diagnosis, prior treatments. On every trial page we explain these in plain language and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Do I have to live in Florida to take part?
- Not necessarily. These studies have a site in Florida, but eligibility is about your health, not your address — some people travel to take part, and a few studies reimburse travel. The study team can tell you what's required.
- Does it cost anything to join a hydrocephalus trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what's covered before you decide.
Not the right time?
