Clinical Trial Summary

With the advent of the aging society, dementia becomes the focus of common people. As for the neurodegeneration dementia, no disease modifying treatments have been discovered. Idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus (iNPH) is considered as one of reversible dementia, which can be hint by the surgery. In addition, dementia of iNPH is the typical subcortical dementia. Therefore exploring the pathogenic mechanism is conducive to the early diagnosis and treatment. This research is to monitor the changing of iNPHGS, cognitive function, walking ability as well as brain construction imaging and neural network before and after ventriculo-peritoneal shunting in order to demonstrate the pathogenesis of triads. In the process, the supplementary test, for instance, CSF tap test, will be validated the predictive value.
