TRANSPARK_LONG: The Diagnostic Value of Early Transcranial Ultrasound in Patients With Extrapyramidal Diseases in a Swedish Population
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
Popular science summary of the project The purpose of the study is to investigate in a Swedish population how well our previous ultrasound findings match the final diagnosis (PD, APS or ET) after a particularly long follow-up time, which greatly increases the certainty that the diagnosis does not change more and is thus correct. We also want to study whether the initial ultrasound findings have changed during the control interval and whether measurement results regarding the diameter in one of the fluid-filled rooms in the brain (third ventricle) can be correlated with the development of cognitive impairment or dementia later in the course of the disease. For this, we have got ethical permission to go into the patients' medical records and to call a subgroup back to the clinic to be able to do a new examination and a memory test.
