Colonoscopic Detection of Phosphorylated Alpha-synuclein for Parkinson's Diagnosis
Sponsor: CND Life Sciences
Summary
The goal of this observational study is to learn whether tissue samples taken from the colon during routine colonoscopy can detect signs of Parkinson's disease. The main question it aims to answer is: Can doctors find a protein called alpha-synuclein in colon tissue samples from people with Parkinson's disease? Currently, Parkinson's disease is diagnosed by observing symptoms like tremors and movement problems, but by then the disease has already progressed significantly. Earlier detection could help doctors start treatment sooner.
