CSF flow study for babies with hemorrhagic hydrocephalus
Treatments studied
Part of Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your baby was born premature and is currently in the NICU
- Your baby has been diagnosed with hydrocephalus after a brain bleed
- Your baby has a small drainage port placed under the skin to remove extra brain fluid
- Your baby is medically stable enough to be moved for a scan
- Your baby is not allergic to iodine or the dye used in the scan

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study uses a special light-based monitor (NIRS) to track blood flow in the brain of premature infants. It compares babies in different conditions related to bleeding, fluid buildup, or other brain fluid changes to help doctors understand what monitoring can show.
This trial tests a special catheter system used to drain cerebrospinal fluid (the fluid around the brain and spinal cord) in adults with bleeding into the brain’s fluid spaces. It may help because doctors can use the catheter soon after the bleeding to manage fluid and pressure.
This study uses advanced MRI scans to look closely at the brains of babies who have had a bleed and fluid buildup. The goal is to understand the condition better and help guide treatment decisions.
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.
This study looks at ways to prevent, find early, and manage bleeding in the brain and the fluid buildup that can follow in premature babies. If your baby had such bleeding and fluid buildup, the study may offer close monitoring and care to help improve outcomes.
This study looks at the fluid around the brain and spinal cord (called cerebrospinal fluid or CSF) in newborns and fetuses with spina bifida, compared to babies without the condition. The goal is to understand how this fluid may affect brain development, which could lead to better treatments in the future.
