Did You Know?
NPH is a more common syndrome than people think, especially in people aged 60+, and is often confused and thought to be dementia or Parkinson's.

Why come now—and not wait
At Melikov Center, we specialize in rapid and accurate diagnosis of NPH.
Using simple tests and advanced methods, we can determine if the symptoms are caused by hydrocephalus—and if so, there is a treatment that can change quality of life
- Improvement in walking and stability
- Improvement in memory
Rapid results:
In many cases, within 30-60 minutes after treatment, a change is observed, which does not occur in degenerative diseases.
How does it work?
Simple test
Routine lumbar puncture
Fluid drainage
Approximately 40 cc of cerebrospinal fluid
Evaluation of results
Within 30-60 minutes
If symptoms improve, it is a clear indication that drainage is helpful, and there is a good chance that treatment will significantly improve the condition
What is the treatment for normal pressure hydrocephalus?
It involves permanent drainage of excess cerebrospinal fluid through a shunt insertion surgery that takes 40-60 minutes. The treatment enables significant improvement in walking, memory, independence, and quality of life within the first few days following it.
Do not wait for symptoms to worsen.
