简要总结

The primary purpose of this study is to determine whether the addition of structured outpatient palliative care to standard neurology care leads to meaningful improvement in patient quality of life and reduction in caregiver burden in individuals with atypical parkinsonian syndromes. APS including PSP,MSA,CBS and DLB are progressive disorders characterized by severe motor and nonmotor symptoms high functional dependency and substantial caregiver stress Despite these complex needs palliative care remains underutilised in APS This trial seeks to evaluate whether early multidisciplinary outpatient palliative care delivered alongside standard neurology management can improve symptom control enhance daily functioning support psychosocial needs and alleviate caregiver distress Outcomes will be assessed using validated tools PDQ-39 for quality of life and ZBI-12 for caregiver burden at baseline and follow up visits at 3,6,9,12 months

Study Hypothesis is whether Combining outpatient palliative care with standard neurology care improves patient quality of life and reduces caregiver burden in people with APS
