HYDROCEPHALUS

This study is tracking patients for three years after they receive a specific programmable brain shunt valve. The valve is used to drain excess fluid in the brain, a condition called hydrocephalus. Researchers are collecting standard care data to see how well the valve stays in p…

This study is testing a new medical device called the eShunt System for people with normal pressure hydrocephalus, a condition where excess fluid builds up in the brain. The small, permanent implant is placed using a minimally invasive procedure to drain the fluid, potentially av…

This study is testing a new, minimally invasive device called the eShunt System for people with communicating hydrocephalus after a brain bleed. The device is designed to drain excess fluid from the brain into the bloodstream, potentially avoiding the need for more invasive tradi…

This study aims to improve treatment for babies with hydrocephalus (fluid buildup in the brain) in Uganda. Researchers are testing a brain surgery technique that could allow babies to live without needing a permanent shunt device, which often fails. The study will follow 400 infa…

This study is testing the safety of a new wireless sensor for people with hydrocephalus, a condition involving fluid buildup in the brain. The sensor is implanted alongside a standard drainage tube and allows patients or caregivers to check brain pressure from home for three mont…

This study is collecting real-world information on how a specific surgical patch, called Neuro-Patch, performs when doctors use it to repair the protective lining around the brain or spinal cord. It involves 328 patients who had this patch placed during various neurosurgical proc…
