Understanding the clinical outcomes of idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This observational study aims to explore the clinical spectrum and natural progression of idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus (iNPH) and related disorders. It will involve a prospective cohort design at a single center, where researchers will identify digital, imaging, and molecular biomarkers to assist in diagnosis and therapy development. Participants will undergo standardized clinical examinations and have the option to donate biosamples, including blood, urine, CSF, and muscle biopsies. The study seeks to determine the main prognostic factors through clinical scales, biomarkers, and imaging techniques.
