NCT ID NCT06426004
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study will look at how common Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus (NPH) is in Maryland and whether race or zip code affects access to care. Researchers will provide education to patients, primary care doctors, and community health workers, then track how many people get referred to specialists. The goal is to find and reduce unfair differences in care, especially for Black communities.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
What this could lead to
If successful, this could point toward better ways to diagnose and treat NPH in underserved communities, reducing racial gaps in care.
What could go wrong
This is an observational study, not a treatment trial. It may not directly improve health outcomes, and results might not apply outside Maryland.
