Focus on a Cure has joined the Muhammad Ali Parkinson’s center in enrolling Parkinson’s patients in this important PD Registry –A long term study

Parkinson's Disease Registry- A Long-Term Study

Purpose:
The purpose of the registry is to develop a national database for persons with Parkinson's disease. It will be used to facilitate the development of new therapies and healthcare services in order to improve the quality of life for people with PD. The registry will also be a means for investigators in the field of PD to quickly identify and notify people about research studies for which they are eligible
 
Objectives

  • To accelerate the process of informing participants of research projects for which they may be eligible
  • To track the functional abilities and cost of illness for people with PD over time
  • To assist the Parkinson's disease medical community with the development of recommendations for monitoring their patients and reports on patient outcomes to optimize patient care
  • To assess characteristics of PD and treatment patterns.

What Do I Need to Know?

  • Participation in the registry is voluntary, confidential and free of charge.
  • You will be notified of clinical trials for which you may be eligible; however you are not obligated to enter the trials.
  • You will be asked to complete an updated questionnaire every six months.
  • You may also be asked to complete additional surveys for PD research projects.
  • The data you provide will be used in scientific publications, in summary form only.
  • Your name will not be released to any individuals outside the Registry management team without your written authorization, nor will it be sold for advertising or fund raising. We have taken all possible precautions to protect your personal information. The transmission of your answers to MAPC from your browser is secured with 128 bit encryption, the same level of security that is used by banks

An essential book for any child who has a loved one with Parkinson’s Disease.


I read Who is PEE DEE? to my god son and his sister just before my DBS surgery; it made things so much clearer to them that they bought me my very own PEE DEE bear to have at the hospital with me and they now can relate on their own level the different emotions and troubles parkisnon's presents over the course of a typical day. I personally reccomend this book for anyone with Parkinson's that have children close to them it is a must have for your library.
