Differential Diagnosis Between Parkinson's Disease and Multiple System Atrophy Using Digital Speech Analysis - Part 2

Differential Diagnosis Between Parkinson's Disease and Multiple System Atrophy Using Digital Speech Analysis - Part 2 - Voice4PD-MSA-II

Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 24 Jun 2026

Brief summary (registry, in English)

Parkinson's disease (PD) is the second most common neurodegenerative disease. Multiple system atrophy (MSA) is a relentlessly progressing rare neurodegenerative disease of unknown etiology. The differential diagnosis between the MSA-Parkinsonism (MSA-P) subtype and PD can be very challenging in early disease stages, while early diagnostic certitude is important for the patient because of the diverging prognosis. At the time being, there exists no validated objective biomarker to guide the clinician. Dysarthria is a common early symptom in both diseases and of different origin. The ambition and the originality of this project are to develop a digital voice-based tool for objective discrimination between PD and MSA-P.
