Evaluating a Device for Measuring Shunt Flow in Hydrocephalus
This study is testing a new device called the Thermal Anisotropy Measurement Device. This device is a non-invasive sensor that sits on your skin over an existing cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) shunt. It uses heat and temperature sensors to check how well the shunt is flowing. The study wants to see how well this device works to measure shunt flow over time. You might be able to join if you are between 5 and 80 years old and have an existing CSF shunt. The study will measure your skin temperature and acceleration for up to 90 days to see how the device performs. The current status of this study is unclear, and it plans to enroll 130 people.
- Study design
- This interventional study plans to enroll 130 participants. It is evaluating a non-invasive device for measuring shunt flow.
- What's involved
- You would wear the Thermal Anisotropy Measurement Device on your skin over an existing CSF shunt. The device will collect data over time.
- Compensation
- Not stated in the trial record.
- Follow-up
- Your skin temperature and acceleration will be measured for up to 90 days.
