NCT ID NCT04011566
First seen May 20, 2026 · Last updated May 24, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study checks if a device called ShuntCheck can correctly tell whether a brain shunt is working or blocked in people with normal pressure hydrocephalus who have no symptoms. About 50 adults aged 40 and older with a shunt will be tested during a routine visit. The goal is to see if the test is accurate, which could help doctors find problems early without needing more invasive checks.
