Official Title: Computerised Testing of Cognitive Response to Cerebrospinal Fluid Shunting in Idiopathic Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus
Brief Summary:
A novel computerised neuropsychological test battery for normal pressure hydrocephalus (NPH) has been developed. The aim is to provide the clinician with a free of charge, standardized tool, assessing the cognitive decline or improvements in the cognitive domains specific for NPH. Results from the battery indicate good reliability and validity for the computerized tests
Results from the computerised battery seems promising. However, ability for the battery to detect cognitive improvements after a shunt operation remains to be tested.
