First seen Apr 04, 2026 · Last updated May 23, 2026 · Updated 6 times
Summary
This study is testing a small, wireless sensor that sticks to the skin over a shunt tube to see if fluid is flowing properly. It uses gentle warmth to measure temperature changes without breaking the skin. About 55 children and adults with hydrocephalus and working shunts will take part. The goal is to see if the device can tell when a shunt is open or blocked, which could lead to easier, noninvasive checks in the future.
