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 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 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 collects information on people who have had a subarachnoid hemorrhage (a type of brain bleed) from certain causes. It helps doctors better understand the condition and improve care.
This study looks at people who may have normal-pressure hydrocephalus (fluid-related swelling in the brain) and also focuses on sleep apnea. It may help researchers understand whether treating or studying sleep issues could improve symptoms related to this condition.
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.
This study tests a wireless sensor that measures the flow of cerebrospinal fluid through a shunt, which is a tube that drains fluid from the brain. The goal is to see how different shunt valve settings affect flow, which may help doctors manage symptoms better.
