Bandage-Sized sensor could revolutionize hydrocephalus monitoring
NCT ID NCT05546996
First seen Apr 02, 2026 · Last updated May 12, 2026 · Updated 7 times
Summary
This study tests a new wireless, bandage-like sensor called FlowSense that measures fluid flow in shunts used to treat hydrocephalus. Researchers will compare its readings with standard drainage and pressure measurements in 24 patients who already have external ventricular drains. The goal is to see if this simple, noninvasive device can help doctors quickly check if a shunt is working, potentially reducing unnecessary scans and hospital visits.
