Brain scans and spinal fluid may predict hydrocephalus progression
NCT ID NCT05910944
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study follows 140 people with early signs of normal pressure hydrocephalus (NPH) to see if brain scans and fluid tests can predict who will get worse and need shunt surgery. Participants include those with mild symptoms, those with clear NPH, and healthy volunteers. The goal is to understand how the disease progresses and improve treatment timing.
