First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jul 28, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study follows 150 people with early Parkinson's disease or Multiple System Atrophy (MSA) for up to 18 months. Researchers will measure changes in motor symptoms, quality of life, and biomarkers to better understand how these diseases progress. The goal is to gather information that could help design future treatments.
