Research registry collecting data on hydrocephalus treatment
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study collects information about people with hydrocephalus when they have certain brain fluid (CSF) procedures. The goal is to better understand different patient groups and treatments across multiple centers.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a diagnosis of hydrocephalus (brain fluid buildup)
- You have surgery or a procedure to treat hydrocephalus
- Your treatment involves a shunt or related device (like a ventriculoperitoneal shunt) or an endoscopic third ventriculostomy
- Your care does not involve only an external ventricular drain as the temporary procedure

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.
This trial looks at how fluid moves in the brain of premature babies with hydrocephalus after bleeding. It uses special imaging to see if the fluid is flowing properly, which could help guide treatment.
This study watches how the pressure of spinal fluid around the brain and spine changes during surgery for communicating hydrocephalus. It aims to help doctors better manage a shunt that drains extra fluid from the lower back to the belly.
This registry study collects information from people diagnosed with spontaneous intracranial hypotension (a type of spinal fluid leak headache) to better understand the condition. You may help by providing MRI results and follow-up information over about 3 months.
This study tests a wireless sensor that measures fluid flow in a shunt (a tube that drains fluid from the brain) under different valve settings. It may help people with hydrocephalus who already have a shunt and a programmable valve.
This trial tests a surgery that combines two procedures to treat hydrocephalus in children. The goal is to create a new pathway for fluid to drain and reduce fluid production, which may help avoid a permanent shunt.
