A Placebo-Controlled Efficacy in iNPH Shunting (PENS) Trial

Brief description of study

This is a multicenter, randomized, blinded, placebo-controlled study of patients with suspected idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus (iNPH). Using FDA-approved technology, we propose a prospective randomized placebo-controlled clinical trial for the surgical shunting treatment of iNPH. These valve systems allow a well-maintained blinded placebo control because the surgical and adjustment procedures can be entirely identical in the active and placebo groups.
