About this study
Official title: Post-Market Clinical Follow-up Registry of Patients With CODMAN CERTAS Plus Programmable Valves
Post-Market Clinical Follow-up Registry of Patients with CODMAN CERTAS Plus Programmable Valves.
Read the detailed description
The CODMAN CERTAS Plus Programmable Valve is a single use implantable device designed for shunting cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) for the treatment of hydrocephalus.
The clinical investigation specifically aims to collect data on the performance measures outlined below. Data will be collected per standard of care, given the nature of the clinical investigation to capture real world data (registry); timing, frequency, and methodology of assessing the performance outcomes may therefore differ per center, subject, and/or visit.
- Improvement of the following symptoms related to hydrocephalus:
- Gait disturbances;
- Spatial impairment;
- Cognitive abilities;
- Urinary incontinence;
- Pain caused by headaches;
- Visual acuity.
- Conditions
- Hydrocephalus, NPH (Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus), IIH - Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension
- Being tested
- CODMAN CERTAS Programmable Valves
- Medical subject headings
- Hydrocephalus, Hydrocephalus, Normal Pressure, Pseudotumor Cerebri

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
An observational study of Hydrocephalus and NPH (Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus), run by Integra LifeSciences Corporation at 8 sites in 2 countries.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 2 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 26 Jan 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 8 sites in Germany, Netherlands. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
Are results available for this study?
The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Performance Endpoints (time frame: 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, 12 months, 24 months, and 36 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 26 Jan 2022; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 27 Oct 2026.
