Scientists search for a simple blood test to manage 'Water on the Brain'
NCT ID NCT05399602
Summary
This small, completed study aimed to see if measuring a protein called neurofilament light (NfL) in blood and spinal fluid could help doctors manage hydrocephalus. Researchers compared NfL levels in 41 adults with hydrocephalus to levels in people having other spinal surgeries. The goal was to learn if changes in this protein correlate with a patient's symptoms, which might one day help guide treatment adjustments.
