Clinical Trial: A Prospective Study Comparing CSF Shunt Flow Between "Virtual Off" and "Flow Permissive" Shunt Valve Settings Using a Wireless, Noninvasive Shunt Flow Sensor

U.S., Sept. 12 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07815314) titled 'A Prospective Study Comparing CSF Shunt Flow Between "Virtual Off" and "Flow Permissive" Shunt Valve Settings Using a Wireless, Noninvasive Shunt Flow Sensor' on Sept. 06.

Brief Summary: Hydrocephalus is commonly treated with a cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) shunt, a device that drains excess fluid from the brain. However, shunts can stop working over time, and determining whether fluid is flowing through a shunt can be difficult. Current diagnostic methods may require imaging studies or invasive procedures, which can be time-consuming, costly, or uncomfortable for patients.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the performance of t...
