NCT ID NCT07103681
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at 100 older adults with normal pressure hydrocephalus (NPH) to find out why some get better after a shunt surgery and others do not. Researchers will use brain scans, blood tests, and wearable monitors to check for nerve damage and signs of dementia. The goal is to better predict who will benefit from surgery and improve quality of life.
