New hope for babies with water on the brain: study tests Shunt-Free surgery in uganda
NCT ID NCT03650101
Summary
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 infants to see how well they develop after surgery and identify which patients are most at risk for the treatment not working.
