Study of rare parkinsonian conditions
Part of Brain & nervous system, Eyes & vision, Mental health clinical trials.
This study follows people with certain rare brain conditions that affect movement and thinking, such as multiple system atrophy, dementia with Lewy bodies, progressive supranuclear palsy, and corticobasal degeneration. It aims to learn more about how these conditions progress over time, which may help improve future care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed with one of these conditions: multiple system atrophy, dementia with Lewy bodies, progressive supranuclear palsy, or corticobasal degeneration.
- Your symptoms started within the last few years (3 years for multiple system atrophy, 2 years for progressive supranuclear palsy).
- For dementia with Lewy bodies, you must have a certain level of thinking ability (score of 18 or higher on a memory test).
- You do not have Parkinson's disease, spinocerebellar ataxia, or other conditions that cause similar symptoms.
- Your symptoms are not caused by a stroke, tumor, or brain inflammation.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study collects data from people with Parkinson's disease or multiple system atrophy (MSA) to better understand these conditions. You will have blood, saliva, optional spinal fluid tests, and brain scans (MRI, PET/SPECT).
This study is collecting information from patients with multiple system atrophy (a rare neurological condition affecting movement and body functions), Parkinson disease, and healthy volunteers to better understand these conditions. By participating, you help doctors learn more about how these diseases develop and progress.
This study looks at genetic factors in people with PSP, CBS, MSA, or similar brain conditions, and also in their family members. It involves genetic testing to learn more about these diseases and may help find new treatments.
This study looks at how people with certain rare brain conditions (like progressive supranuclear palsy, corticobasal syndrome, or multiple system atrophy) use healthcare services and how their quality of life is affected. It may help doctors better support patients and their carers.
This study uses brain scans and clinical check-ins to better diagnose and predict how Parkinson-related conditions may progress over time. It may help researchers find markers that explain why symptoms change, and could improve future care.
This study tracks changes in people with Parkinson's disease, other movement disorders, or cognitive decline to find better ways to measure disease progression.
