Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This is a prospective cohort study to examine the disease burden of multiple system atrophy and the impact of multidisciplinary care on quality of life and caregiver burden. Data will be collected through valid rating scales completed by patients and caregivers at home or in the MSA clinic.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Study Procedures:

Participants and caregivers will attend a multidisciplinary MSA clinic one day every four months. In addition to the standard of care, they will be asked to complete both online and paper questionnaires, including the following:

* UMSARS (Unified MSA Rating Scale)
* MSA QOL
* CES-D
* OHQ
* Compass-31
* BIC
* UPDRS
* SARA
* MDS Scale
* CGI
* MoCA

Participants will be part of the study as long as they are a patient of the MSA clinic, and will be contacted for follow-up information up to five years.
