Summary

This trial studies a device to measure CSF flow in patients with implanted shunts. Patients wear it to get long-term data.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for people aged 6-80 with hydrocephalus who have a ventriculoperitoneal CSF shunt and intact skin where the device will be placed. Participants must speak English, provide consent, and be available for follow-ups. Minors over 12 must give verbal assent.
What is being tested?
The study tests a new device that measures cerebrospinal fluid flow in shunts non-invasively. Patients with existing shunts wear the device to collect data over time, both at home and possibly in a hospital setting.
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves wearing a measurement device rather than taking medication or undergoing surgery, side effects are minimal but may include discomfort or skin irritation where the device is applied.
