NCT ID NCT07137403
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study follows 450 older adults to understand why many develop a slow, unsteady walk. Researchers think it may be linked to a treatable brain condition called Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus. They will use brain scans and track health outcomes over six years to find better ways to diagnose and help those affected.
