Targeted Α-synuclein PET Imaging in the Diagnosis of Multiple System Atrophy
Sponsor
Min Zhao,MD
Enrollment
90 participants
Start Date
Sep 14, 2024
Study Type
OBSERVATIONAL
Conditions
Summary
The aim of this study was to apply the targeted α-synuclein PET study technique to investigate the pathological load and spatial distribution characteristics of α-syn in MSA patients, and to assess its value as a biomarker for diagnostic typing, disease severity, and prognosis in MSA.
Eligibility
Min Age: 35 YearsMax Age: 80 Years
Plain Language Summary
Simplified for easier understanding
This study tests a new PET scan imaging agent that targets alpha-synuclein — a protein that builds up abnormally in multiple system atrophy (MSA), a rare and serious brain condition that affects movement, balance, and automatic body functions like blood pressure and bladder control. The goal is to improve early and accurate diagnosis.
**You may be eligible if...**
- You are older than 35 years of age (any gender)
- You have been clinically diagnosed with MSA based on the 2022 Movement Disorder Society criteria
- You have been tested for genetic conditions that mimic MSA and results came back negative
- You are willing to volunteer and sign informed consent
**You may NOT be eligible if...**
- You are pregnant or breastfeeding
- You have contraindications to MRI (like metal implants or severe claustrophobia)
- You have another serious neurological condition that could confuse the diagnosis
