This study looks at brain scans and spinal fluid in people with normal pressure hydrocephalus (NPH) to understand how it affects thinking and walking. If you have NPH and are 60 or older, this research may help find better ways to diagnose and treat you.
This European study looks at people with early (prodromal) signs of idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus (iNPH), a condition that can affect walking and thinking. It uses brain imaging and brief walking/cognitive checks to see who has this early pattern and may benefit from further evaluation.
This study tests a new, non-invasive method to check if a shunt is blocked in people with normal pressure hydrocephalus (NPH). It could help make diagnosis more comfortable and avoid unnecessary procedures.
This study looks at people who may have normal-pressure hydrocephalus (fluid-related swelling in the brain) and also focuses on sleep apnea. It may help researchers understand whether treating or studying sleep issues could improve symptoms related to this condition.
This study is for people with a disability who also help care for a family member. It looks at ways to support both your health and your caregiving role.
