===== Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus (MDS-NPH) Study Group =====

​The International Parkinson and Movement Disorder Society (MDS) has established the [[Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus]] (NPH) [[Study Group]] to advance research and understanding of this [[condition]].

**Goals and Focus Areas**

- **Standardizing [[Assessment]]s:** Addressing the lack of standardized diagnostic procedures, including cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) shunting tests, neuroimaging, and gait analysis.

- **Collaborative [[Research]]:** Promoting international research efforts to explore CSF biomarkers, surgical outcomes, and clinical trials.

- **[[Interdisciplinar]]y Communication:** Facilitating dialogue among neurologists, neuropsychologists, neurosurgeons, and scientists to enhance understanding and treatment of NPH.

**[[Leadership]]**

- **Chair:** Joachim Krauss

- **Co-Chair:** Alfonso Fasano

The group has published critical reviews, such as "Clinical Features of Idiopathic Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus: Critical Review of Objective Findings," to shed light on the condition's clinical characteristics.
