​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 Assessments: 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.

- Interdisciplinary 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.
