Brain protein may guide hydrocephalus treatment
NCT ID NCT05399602
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at whether measuring a protein called NfL in the blood or spinal fluid can help doctors manage hydrocephalus, a condition where too much fluid puts pressure on the brain. Researchers studied 41 adults with this condition to see if NfL levels relate to symptoms and treatment decisions. The goal was to learn if this test could be a useful tool, not to test a new treatment.
