Prevention Multiple system atrophy Alternative Names: Shy-Drager syndrome; Neurologic orthostatic hypotension; Shy-McGee-Drager syndrome; Parkinson's plus syndrome Treatment: There is no cure for MSA, and there is no known means to slow progression. Treatment is aimed at controlling symptoms such as postural hypotension and parkinsonian movements. Anticholinergic medications may be used to reduce early or mild tremors . Levodopa may improve movement and balance. Carbidopa may reduce the side effects of Levodopa and make it work better. However, the response to medications may be disappointing. Many affected individuals respond poorly to treatment with anticholinergics or Levodopa. Medications that may be used to treat low blood pressure include the following: Sympathomimetics Vasoconstrictors Beta-blockers MAO inhibitors Vasopressin 9-fluohydrocortisone A pacemaker programmed to stimulate the heart to beat at a rapid rate (faster than 100 beats per minute) may increase blood pressure for some people.

Its symptoms are similar to those of Parkinson's disease in that patients may move slowly, be tremulous, and have a shuffling gait. However, in MSA there is more widespread neurologic damage and damage to the autonomic nervous system (the portion of the nervous system that controls involuntary functions). There is progressive degeneration of the nervous system, with damage to all parts of the nervous system, including the brain.

Multiple System Atrophy Topic Tree Definition: A syndrome complex composed of three conditions which represent clinical variants of the same disease process: STRIATONIGRAL DEGENERATION; SHY-DRAGER SYNDROME; and the sporadic form of OLIVOPONTOCEREBELLAR ATROPHIES. Clinical features include autonomic, cerebellar, and basal ganglia dysfunction. Pathologic examination reveals atrophy of the basal ganglia, cerebellum, pons, and medulla, with prominent loss of autonomic neurons in the brain stem and spinal cord.

December 2003 From University of California - San Diego National study seeks cause of baffling, fatal disorder called multiple system atrophy A better understanding of a baffling, frequently misdiagnosed disease called Multiple Systems Atrophy (MSA) will be sought by researchers at 12 sites in the U.S. as part of a five-year, $7 million grant from the National Institutes of Health (NIH). A devastating disease with multiple symptoms, no cure and no effective treatment, MSA strikes people in middle age. Most patients die within seven to 10 years. Coordinated by the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) School of Medicine, the national research project will enroll 175 individuals with MSA and 350 control subjects who don't have the fatal disorder, in an attempt to identify possible environmental and genetic causes. "Although there are estimates that MSA affects approximately 50,000 Americans, the true number is unknown," said the study's principal investigator, Clifford Shults, M.D., UCSD professor of neurosciences. "With its variety of symptoms, this disease is often misdiagnosed." He added that it's unrealistic to think that one drug can treat all the symptoms. "What we need is to find the cause or causes, and stop MSA before the degeneration progresses."
