Study of blood and brain data in normal pressure hydrocephalus
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study collects different kinds of health information (“multi-omics” data, like blood-based markers) in people with idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus (iNPH). It aims to better understand the condition and how it may relate to treatment, such as shunt surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be age 60 or older
- Have a clinician diagnosis of idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus (iNPH)
- Be able to sign a consent form in writing
- Not have secondary normal pressure hydrocephalus (caused by another condition)
- Do not have Alzheimer’s disease plus Parkinson’s disease, or other nervous system diseases that overlap

This study follows people with idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus (iNPH) to track their health outcomes over time. It helps doctors understand how the condition naturally progresses without surgery.
This study uses a combination of tests (like brain scans, walking tests, and memory checks) to more accurately diagnose a brain fluid condition called 'normal pressure hydrocephalus' and to decide if surgery might help. The goal is to improve treatment choices for people with this condition.
This study watches how the pressure of spinal fluid around the brain and spine changes during surgery for communicating hydrocephalus. It aims to help doctors better manage a shunt that drains extra fluid from the lower back to the belly.
This study looks at brain scans and spinal fluid in people with normal pressure hydrocephalus (NPH) to understand how it affects thinking and walking. If you have NPH and are 60 or older, this research may help find better ways to diagnose and treat you.
This European study looks at people with early (prodromal) signs of idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus (iNPH), a condition that can affect walking and thinking. It uses brain imaging and brief walking/cognitive checks to see who has this early pattern and may benefit from further evaluation.
This study uses a safe ultrasound test to measure blood flow in your brain to help doctors decide if a shunt (a tube that drains extra fluid) might help you. It enrolls people with possible normal pressure hydrocephalus who are already being checked for the condition.
