Alpha-synuclein Level in Saliva to Differentiate Between Idiopathic Parkinson Disease and Iatrogenic Parkinsonian Syndrome

Completed
Conditions
Parkinson Disease
Parkinsonian Disorders
Interventions
Diagnostic Test: Level of alpha-synuclein
Registration Number
NCT03156647
Lead Sponsor
Centre Hospitalier Universitaire de Nīmes
Brief Summary

The aim of this study is to determine whether a significant reduction in the total level of alpha-synuclein and significant increase in the oligomeric form of alpha-synuclein and therefore the ratio oligomeric:total alpha-synuclein occurs in patients with Parkinson disease compared to patients with drug-induced parkinsonian syndrome.
