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

Completed
Conditions
Parkinson Disease
Parkinsonian Disorders
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.
