Trials for Obstructive Hydrocephalus Patients
FlowSense Monitoring for Hydrocephalus
Recruiting1 award
Houston, Texas
This trial is testing FlowSense, a small, wireless sensor that helps monitor fluid flow in patients with hydrocephalus. It aims to reduce hospital visits and surgeries by providing an easy way to check if the treatment is working. The sensor sends data to a mobile app, making it simple for doctors to keep track of the patient's condition.
Shunt System
eShunt Implant for Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus
Recruiting1 award10 criteria
New Haven, Connecticut
This trial tests a new device called the eShunt System for patients with normal pressure hydrocephalus. The device helps drain extra fluid from the brain to the veins, which can improve symptoms like walking difficulties, memory issues, and bladder control problems.
MRI
Portable MRI for Hydrocephalus
Recruiting1 award5 criteria
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
This trial is testing whether a portable, low field strength MRI system is feasible and acceptable to use in an outpatient setting, and whether it provides diagnostic information comparable to that of standard clinical MRI or CT scans.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need insurance to participate in a trial?
Almost all clinical trials will cover the cost of the 'trial drug' — so no insurance is required for this. For trials where this trial drug is given alongside an already-approved medication, there may be a cost (which your insurance would normally cover).
Is there any support for travel costs?
Many of the teams running clinical trials will cover the cost of transportation to-and-from their care center.
Will I know what medication I am taking?
This depends on the specific study. If you're worried about receiving a placebo, you can actively filter out these trials using our search.
How long do clinical trials last?
Some trials will only require a single visit, while others will continue until your disease returns. It's fairly common for a trial to last somewhere between 1 and 6 months.
Do you verify all the trials on your website?
All of the trials listed on Power have been formally registered with the US Food and Drug Administration. Beyond this, some trials on Power have been formally 'verified' if the team behind the trial has completed an additional level of verification with our team.
How quickly will I hear back from a clinical trial?
Sadly, this response time can take anywhere from 6 hours to 2 weeks. We're working hard to speed up how quickly you hear back — in general, verified trials respond to patients within a few days.
