Brain scans and wearables aim to solve shunt surgery mystery
NCT ID NCT07103681
First seen Apr 29, 2026 · Last updated Apr 29, 2026
Summary
This study looks at 100 older adults with normal pressure hydrocephalus (NPH) to find out why some improve after a shunt surgery while others do not. Researchers will use brain scans, blood and spinal fluid tests, and wearable activity monitors to compare those who respond to surgery with those who don't. The goal is to better understand which patients are most likely to benefit from the procedure.
