NCT ID NCT04471740
First seen Apr 24, 2026 · Last updated Apr 30, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study looks at how sleep apnea changes pressure in the brain and belly during sleep, which can affect how well a cerebrospinal fluid shunt works. Researchers will measure these pressures in 30 adults with normal-pressure hydrocephalus to help decide whether to drain fluid into the abdomen or the heart. The goal is to improve symptoms and reduce shunt failures.
