About this trial

The aim of this study is to determine the clinical spectrum and natural progression of idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus (iNPH ) and related disorders in a prospective single center study, identify digital, imaging and molecular biomarkers that can assist in diagnosis and therapy development and study the etiology and molecular mechanisms of these diseases.

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

DTIALPS

Change of DTIALPS singal intensity in the resting state fMRI in iNPH patients compared with normal healthy group. Also, the responsive and non-responsive iNPH patients functional MRI were analzed.

Time frame
Change from Baseline at 6 months after VP shunt

Secondary outcomes

1

Kiefer score

A score for iNPH severity; range 0-26; higher indicates higher severity.

Time frame
Change from Baseline at 6 months after VP shunt
2

Mini mental state Examination

A score for cognitive ability; range 0-30; higher indicates higher severity.

Time frame
Change from Baseline at 6 months after VP shunt
3

Gait evaluation

10 meters walking test were evaluated of iNPH patients.

Time frame
Change from Baseline at 6 months after VP shunt
4

modified Rankin scale

A score for functional neurological status ; range 0-5; higher indicates higher severity.

Time frame
Change from Baseline at 6 months after VP shunt
