Idiopathic Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus (iNPH) is a treatable neurological disorder characterized by dementia, urinary incontinence, and gait disturbance that can be corrected by lumboperiotoneal shunt(LPS) surgery. It is estimated that there are approximately 1 million patients with iNPH in Japan, and the number of patients with iNPH is increasing in Japan as the population ages. However, we conducted a retrospective study of iNPH patients hospitalized over the past 10 years and found that iNPH is associated with Parkinson's disease (PD) and its related disorder, dementia of Lewy bodies (DLB), as well as progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP). We reported that DAT scans are useful for detecting these complications. Furthermore, LPS surgery was partially effective not only in patients with iNPH but also in those with PD complicated by iNPH. However, clinically, it is often difficult to differentiate whether the case is complicated or uncomplicated, and the effectiveness is not consistent in AD. There is no clear conclusion whether that shunt surgery is really effective in PD and its related diseases.
The purpose of this study is to confirm the results of this retrospective study in a prospective study. This study will elucidate the correlation between the improvement in specific clinical symptoms and the improvement in imaging (Evans index, DAT-SPECT, etc.). In addition, iNPH will be shown to be a potential disease-modifying therapy for PD and related diseases.

Male and Female
Patients who have any or all of the following symptoms: gait disturbance, cognitive dysfunction, or urinary dysfunction, and meet the criteria of Evans' index > 0.3, will undergo nuclear medicine examination (head MRI, DaT-SPECT, IMP-SPECT, MIBG myocardial scintigraphy).
Patients with disproportionately enlarged subarachnoid-space hydrocephalus (DESH) and gait disturbance should undergo CSF examination.
For patients with symptoms of gait disturbance but no DESH, a tap test is performed and cognitive function tests (MMSE: Mini Mental Scale Examination, FAB: Frontal Assessment Battery, TMT: Trail making test), evaluation of urinary dysfunction (I-PSS: International prostate symptom score, OABSS: Overactive bladder symptom score, ICIQ-SF: International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire Short Form), evaluation of parkinsonism (Dopa challenging test, MDS UPDRS part III: MDS-Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale part III, iNPHGS: iNPH grading score) are performed before and after (on the day of the tap test, 3 days later, and 7 days later), and if symptoms improve, a diagnosis of normal pressure hydrocephalus is made.
Select patients with no pre-existing subarachnoid hemorrhage, meningitis, head trauma, congenital hydrocephalus, or aqueductal stenosis.If the CSF test shows CSF amyloid-beta42 < 500 pg/ml, CSF total tau > 600 pg/ml, and CSF phosphorylated tau > 60 pg/ml, the patient is likely to have Alzheimer's disease and should be excluded.

Patients with iNPH + Parkinson's disease will be divided into two groups under the condition of random assignment: those who underwent lumbar-abdominal shunt surgery and those who did not undergo lumbar-abdominal shunt surgery.
All patients will undergo a gait test (3m up and go), cognitive function test (MMSE: Mini Mental Scale Examination, FAB: Frontal Assessment Battery, TMT: Trail making test) evaluation of urinary dysfunction (International prostate symptom score(I-PSS), Overactive bladder symptom score(OABSS), International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire Short Form(ICIQ-SF)), evaluation of parkinsonism (Dopa challenging test, MDS-Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale part III (MDS-UPDRS part III), iNPHGS (iNPH grading score)) before and after 3, 6 and 12 months LPS surgery (at the same timing for the patients who did not undergo LPS surgery).
The patients with no LPS surgery group can be considered for lumbar-abdominal shunting LPS surgery at the 6-month follow-up evaluation or at any time during follow-up if their symptoms worsen. The specific criteria for determining whether a patient should undergo LPS surgery include 1) a worsening of 5 points or more on the MDS-UPDRS part III, 2) a prolonged gait test of 3 seconds or more, 3) an obvious worsening of activities of daily living, or 4) when the examiner or subject recognizes an obvious worsening of symptoms.
In addition, oral medications for Parkinson's disease, in principle, do not change during this trial.
All patients will undergo imaging re-evaluation with head MRI, DaT-SPECT, and IMP-SPECT at 12 months.
Cognitive and mental status: MMSE, FAB, TMT
Motor symptoms: 3m up and go, MDS-UPDRS part III, iNPHGS score
Urinary disturbances: I-PSS; International prostate symptom score, OABSS; Overactive bladder symptom score, ICIQ-SF; International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire Short Form
