Parkinson's Disease Trial, Recruiting

Written by an AI model from ClinicalTrials.gov eligibility criteria and checked on a sample basis. Please confirm against the original criteria.

Who might be able to join this trial:

• You have been diagnosed with multiple system atrophy (a condition affecting movement and body functions) based on recognised 2022 diagnostic guidelines.
• You have been diagnosed with Parkinson's disease based on recognised diagnostic guidelines.
• You are a healthy person, or someone without an inherited or brain-degenerating condition, who is willing to take part as a comparison participant.
• You are between 40 and 75 years of age.
• You are able to give your own consent to participate, or someone legally authorised to act on your behalf can do so.

Who may not be able to join:

• You have Parkinson's-like symptoms that doctors have not been able to clearly identify as either Parkinson's disease or multiple system atrophy.
• You have been diagnosed with, or are suspected of having, another related brain condition such as progressive supranuclear palsy, dementia with Lewy bodies, or corticobasal syndrome.
• Your Parkinson's-like symptoms are caused by something else, such as a brain tumour, fluid build-up in the brain, medication side effects, or another known cause.
• You have another health condition that significantly affects how your body's automatic functions work (like automatic control of heart rate or digestion), such as nerve damage from diabetes or a condition called amyloidosis.
• You are unwilling to take part or unwilling to undergo standard clinical assessments for Parkinson's-like conditions.
• You have psychiatric or behavioural difficulties that would make it hard to reliably collect information or complete assessment questionnaires (confirm with trial site).
