New brain valve aims to ease fluid buildup
NCT ID NCT04746625
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at how safe and well a new adjustable valve system works for people with hydrocephalus, a condition where fluid builds up in the brain. About 126 patients will receive the valve to help drain excess fluid. The main goals are to see if the valve causes serious side effects and how often it needs to be replaced.
