Acetazolamide Trial in Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus

Sponsor: Uppsala University Hospital

View on ClinicalTrials.gov

Summary

A pharmacological treatment to patients with normal pressure hydrocephalus (NPH) is missing. The aim is to investigate if acetazolamide given to patients with NPH improves gait function and study the pathophysiological mechanisms leading to reduced symptoms. Patients will be randomized to acetazolamide or placebo and duration of treatment will be from diagnosis to the day of shunt surgery. Target dose is 500 mg/day. Study design is a double-blind randomized controlled trial and the plan is to include 42-50 patients. The study is investigator-initiated without financial sponsorship from the industry.
