Understanding Huntington’s Disease
Huntington's Disease Clinical Trials
Key characteristics of Huntington’s Disease include:
- Cognitive Decline: Difficulties in learning, decision-making, and memory.
- Movement Disorders: Involuntary movements, muscle rigidity, or difficulty with coordination.
- Emotional Changes: Depression, irritability, or mood swings.
There is currently no cure for Huntington’s Disease, but clinical trials offer hope by researching potential treatments and ways to improve quality of life for those affected.
What Causes Huntington’s Disease?
Huntington’s Disease is caused by a genetic mutation in the HTT gene, which leads to the production of abnormal huntingtin protein. This defective protein causes damage to nerve cells in the brain, leading to the progression of symptoms over time.
What Are Clinical Trials for Huntington’s Disease?
Clinical trials are research studies designed to test new treatments, interventions, or therapies for Huntington’s Disease. These trials aim to:
- Develop effective therapies to slow or halt the progression of the disease
- Improve the quality of life for individuals with HD
- Understand the disease’s underlying mechanisms
Who Can Participate?
We are looking for individuals who:
- Have been diagnosed with Huntington’s Disease or are at risk due to family history.
- Are between the ages of 18-65 (specific trials may vary).
- Are willing to commit to the trial schedule and guidelines.
