Summary

This study tests a new device called the eShunt System for treating normal pressure hydrocephalus, a condition that causes trouble walking, memory loss, and bladder issues in older adults. The trial will compare the eShunt to a standard shunt in 230 people aged 60 and older. The main goal is to see if the eShunt improves walking ability and has fewer side effects after 6 months.
