Show full summary
  • Patients: Calls attention to about 30,000 Americans with progressive supranuclear palsy and about 2,000 with corticobasal degeneration and lists complex symptoms that impair movement, balance, speech, swallowing, cognition, vision, and mood.
  • Families and caregivers: Highlights aggressive progression, noting most people become dependent on care within 3 to 4 years and have an average life expectancy of about 7 to 8 years from symptom onset.
  • Healthcare professionals and researchers: Supports more research into diagnosis, prevention, treatments, and cures and urges better access to neurology specialists to reduce diagnostic delays.
  • Community and advocates: Recognizes the strength of patients, families, volunteers, clinicians, and researchers and commends organizations working to improve quality of life and pursue cures.
