Brain scans could predict progression of Parkinson's and related disorders

NCT ID NCT04246437

Summary

This study uses a special brain scan to measure dopamine activity in people with autonomic failure conditions like Parkinson's disease, multiple system atrophy, and Lewy body dementia. Researchers want to see if these scans can detect early changes that might predict which patients will develop more serious brain disorders. The study involves 40 participants, including both patients and healthy adults, and aims to help future research identify people who could benefit most from new treatments.
