Welcome to Our Multiple System Atrophy Research Initiative at Aqualane Clinical Research
Hello and thank you for your interest in our Multiple System Atrophy (MSA) research program. Based in Southwest Florida, our research team is dedicated to understanding and finding effective treatments for MSA, a rare neurodegenerative disorder. Our focus extends to understanding its relationship with conditions like Migraine and its overall impact as a Neurodegenerative Disease.
Understanding Multiple System Atrophy
Multiple System Atrophy is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder that affects the body’s autonomic functions, movement, and more. Our research is aimed at uncovering the complexities of MSA and its subcategories, providing insights into better management and treatment options.
Our Research Focus Areas
We invite individuals affected by MSA, as well as their families and healthcare providers, to participate in our research studies. Our specific areas of focus include:
- MSA and Migraine: Investigating the potential links between MSA and migraine headaches, understanding their co-occurrence, and exploring effective management strategies for patients experiencing both conditions.
- MSA as a Neurodegenerative Disease: Delving into the progression of MSA, understanding its similarities and differences with other neurodegenerative diseases, and developing targeted therapies.
Your Participation Can Make a Difference
Your involvement in our MSA research can help us make significant strides in understanding this condition. We value the participation of those who live with MSA, providing us with invaluable insights that can lead to breakthroughs in treatment and care.

What are Clinical Research Trials for Multiple System Atrophy?
Clinical research trials for Multiple System Atrophy are studies that explore new treatments and interventions. These trials test the effectiveness and safety of emerging medications, therapies, or procedures aimed at alleviating symptoms or slowing the progression of MSA.
Who Can Participate in These Trials?
Participants typically include individuals diagnosed with Multiple System Atrophy. The specific criteria for eligibility vary depending on the trial, such as the stage of the disease and overall health status.
Why Participate in a Clinical Trial?
Participation in a clinical trial offers a chance to contribute to scientific understanding and potential treatment breakthroughs for MSA. It also provides access to innovative therapies that are not yet widely available.
How Are Participant Safety and Privacy Protected?
Safety is a primary focus in these trials, which are conducted according to rigorous ethical standards and regulatory guidelines. Participants’ privacy and confidentiality are ensured through secure handling of personal data.
What Happens During a Trial?
Procedures in each trial may differ, but generally involve regular health assessments, monitoring of MSA symptoms, and administration of the study treatment or placebo. Participants receive detailed information prior to the trial’s commencement.
Are There Any Costs or Payments Involved?
Most clinical trials cover all medical costs related to the study. Some may offer compensation for the participants’ time and travel. Specific details vary by trial and should be discussed with the trial coordinators.
