This study is testing a new device called FlowSense for children and young adults (ages 1 to 21) who have hydrocephalus. Hydrocephalus is a condition where there is too much fluid in the brain. FlowSense is a soft, wireless sensor, like a bandage, that attaches to the skin over an existing external ventricular drain (EVD). An EVD is a tube that helps drain fluid from the brain. The study aims to see how well FlowSense can measure the amount of fluid draining from the EVD. This is an exploratory study, meaning it's looking for new information, and will follow participants for one year. The study is currently unclear on its status and plans to enroll 24 participants.

Study design

This interventional study plans to enroll 24 participants aged 1 to 21 years. It is designed to test a new device, FlowSense.

What's involved

Patients will have one or more existing external ventricular drains (EVDs). For some patients, there will also need to be a shaved skin area of at least 3 cm x 3 cm over the EVD tubing.

Compensation

Not stated in the trial record.

Follow-up

Participants will be followed for one year to collect exploratory outcome data.
