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

This trial tests whether a special medication given directly into the brain's fluid spaces can prevent fluid buildup (hydrocephalus) after a severe brain bleed. If you've had a severe aneurysm bleed with bleeding into the brain's cavities and already have a drain tube in place, you may be able to join.
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 at the brains of newborns who have had bleeding in the brain (IVH) and developed a condition called PHVD (fluid buildup after bleeding). The goal is to learn more about the brain and how it is affected, which could help improve care for these babies.
This study tests a new ultrasound technique to look at the brain of babies with hydrocephalus, a condition where fluid builds up in the brain. It may help doctors see the fluid and brain structures without using radiation or sedation.
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.
