Zusammenfassung:Systems, catheters, and methods for accessing and treating along the central nervous system are disclosed. An example method may control operation of a pump (104) of pump/filtration system (100) to facilitate removing cerebrospinal fluid from a patient, filtering the cerebrospinal fluid with a filter module (112) to remove waste product, and returning the filtered cerebrospinal fluid to the patient. Operation of the pump may be adjusted based on a value related to a measure sensed by a sensor (108) in communication with a lumen carrying cerebrospinal fluid through the filtration system.
