Phase 1 |
Detailed Description
The purpose of the study is to evaluate symptomatic treatment regimen efficacy based on different disease stages. We previously used symptomatic treatment on Chinese HD patients and most of them got improved both in the motor symptoms and life quality. So this study intends to further optimize the treatment regimen, and set a control group to further evaluate the treatment efficacy.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- The Unified Huntington's Disease Rating Scale [Five years]
The Unified Huntington's Disease Rating Scale consist of four subscales, including motor(0-124), MMSE (0-30), psychiatric (0-176), and functional domains(1-13). Four subscale scores are summed to compute a total score. Higher motor and psychiatric scores represent worse outcomes but higher MMSE score and functional scores indicate good outcome.
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Brain MRI [Five years]
Brain MRI is used to assess the atrophy of caudate nucleus and cortex in HD patients
