Progressive Supranuclear Palsy Market Research Report, 2014-2020

Palsy is a class of neuro-degenerative disorders affecting many people worldwide. Frequently seen among the geriatric population, palsy is not necessarily endemic to older generation or a specific race, infact they have also been reported in much younger populations, although the reason may be different (trauma/abuse). Progressive supranuclear palsy is a type of palsy, specific to older populations, wherein certain sections of the brain die due to various, yet unknown reasons. The most plausible explanation for PSP found is the variation in the tau protein synthesis that leads to collapse of neurological cells in the brain.

The prominence of this factor has been studied in many patients, however it hasn’t been accepted as the primary cause for PSP, instead scientists believe tau protein variation may play an assisting role in PSP. The initial symptoms of PSP are similar to Parkinson’s disease, which involves frequent loss of balance, forward stoop, frequent collisions while walking, etc. Visual symptoms, i.e. nystagmus, inability to frequently close eyelids, difficult in focusing near objects, double vision and difficulty in moving eye in a vertical axis, are some of the primary symptoms that differentiate palsy from Parkinson’s disease. In the later stages a patient may exhibit behavioral changes, dementia, swallowing difficulties and speech slurring, to name a few.

In extreme cases, paralysis and inability to move the neck is also reportedly seen. PSP is confirmed with an MRI of the brain, where brain clots or decay show affirmative signs. PSP diagnosed patients often have a window of 4-10 years, on an average 7 years until their death. The disorder has the prefix “Progressive” for the very same reason that PSP once diagnosed, is sure to result in total brain death for the patient in the near future.

Treatments or cure for PSP do not exist as of...
