Increase research funding for devastating disease Multiple System Atrophy (MSA)

Petition Details

We ask the Government to significantly increase targeted research funding for Multiple System Atrophy (MSA).

MSA is a rare progressive neurodegenerative disorder, it is vital for increased clinical research to take place.

This would lead to increased hope and support for those battling MSA.

Additional Information

Multiple System Atrophy (MSA) is caused by degeneration or atrophy (shrinking) of nerve cells in several (or multiple) areas of the brain. This can result in problems with multiple bodily functions such as speech, movement, balance and blood pressure control.

No two people are the same and every person’s experience of MSA will be different.

Recent research suggests it affects about 4.4 people per 100,000 so that at any one time there are almost 3,300 people living with MSA in the UK.
