Background: Ventriculoperitoneal shunt (VPS) and lumboperitoneal shunt (LPS) remain the mainstay of idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus (INPH). There are no randomized controlled trials completed to compare the efficacy of these 2 shunt techniques.

Methods/design: We will conduct a monocentric, assessor-blinded, and randomized controlled trial titled "Comparison of Ventriculoperitoneal Shunt to Lumboperitoneal Shunt for the treatment of Idiopathic Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus: Phase I (COVLINPH-1)" trial and recruit patients at West China Hospital of Sichuan University since June 2021.
