NCT ID NCT04309383
First seen May 19, 2026 · Last updated May 23, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tested a device called ShuntCheck to see if it can correctly tell whether a brain shunt is working in people with pseudotumor cerebri (a condition causing high pressure in the skull). Twelve adults who had a shunt placed and were feeling well took part. The goal was to see if the test could reliably detect fluid flow, which could help doctors find shunt blockages without extra scans.
