Parkinson's Disease Cohort Study - NS-PARK is a study happening in France where doctors are trying to understand more about Parkinson's Disease (PD), which is a condition that affects movement. The study collects information from patients at expert centers across France. This includes details like age, symptoms, and treatments. They also take a blood sample at the start for genetic testing to help learn about the disease's causes and how it progresses over time. This study aims to help find new treatments and understand how different people experience PD.
- Participants are required to visit the centers regularly for data updates.
- Blood samples are collected for genetic testing at the beginning.
- Participants must be over 10 years old and have social security.
People with PD or who are at risk can join, but there are some exclusions, like those under legal protection or without consent. The study hopes to find new ways to treat PD and help doctors understand it better.
