Brief Summary

This is a prospective observational study to identify biomarkers in parkinson syndromes. Patients with parkinsonian syndromes at the early stages of disease will be recruited and will be followed up until their established clinical diagnosis or for at least 5 years. In this population, imaging and wet biomarkers as well as clinical data will b systematically collected.

Sampling MethodProbability Sample
Study Population

* patients with unclassified Parkinsonism and disease duration \< 2 years * patients with suggestive, possible or probable progressive suprnanuclear palsy (PSP) and disease duration \<2 years according to established clinical criteria * patients with possible, probable or clinically confirmed multiple system atrophy (MSA) and disease duration \<2 years according to established clinical criteria * patients with parkinsonism (PD, MSA or PSP) and disease duration \> 2 years according to established clinical criteria * patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) and disease duration \< 2 years according to established clinical criteria * patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) and disease duration \> 2 years according to established clinical criteria * healthy individuals without any neurological disease

You may not qualify if:

  • Drug-induced parkinsonism (eg, neuroleptics, lithium, valproic acid, metoclopramide).
  • Metabolic conditions related parkinsonism (eg, Wilson's disease, hypoparathyroidism).
  • Structural lesions on brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) that explain the symptoms, such as normal pressure hydrocephalus, moderate to severe chronic vascular encephalopathy, cerebral infarction, neoplasm
  • Other serious diseases that indicate a life expectancy of \<5 years.
  • Active participation in other interventional clinical studies
