This study tests whether a personalized form of transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) can improve motor and non-motor symptoms in people with Parkinson's disease, multiple system atrophy, or progressive supranuclear palsy. Fifty participants will receive 10 days of targeted TMS…

This study tests whether a 6-week swallowing rehabilitation program can improve swallowing function in people with multiple system atrophy (MSA) who have trouble swallowing. 24 adults with MSA and confirmed swallowing problems will receive either the full rehab program or a singl…

This study looks at whether using a CPAP machine (a device that gently blows air through a mask) can safely lower high blood pressure when lying down at night and help reduce dizziness upon standing in people with autonomic failure. About 59 adults aged 40-80 with conditions like…

This study tests whether applying gentle heat to the abdomen overnight can safely lower high blood pressure that occurs when lying down in people with autonomic failure. About 20 adults with conditions like Parkinson's or Multiple System Atrophy who have this nighttime hypertensi…

This study tests whether a mild electrical brain stimulation technique called tDCS can improve swallowing difficulties in people with Parkinson's disease. 58 participants will receive either real or sham tDCS alongside standard swallowing therapy. Researchers will measure changes…

This study follows 214 people in China with multiple system atrophy, a rare and fast-worsening brain disease that affects movement and automatic body functions. Researchers will track symptoms over time to learn how the disease progresses and what factors influence it. The goal i…

This study follows 800 adults with synucleinopathies—diseases like Parkinson's, Lewy body dementia, and multiple system atrophy—to learn how they develop and change over time. Researchers will track symptoms, biological markers, and early signs like dizziness on standing or dream…
