Plain-Language Summary

The goal is to find which patterns of pain and autonomic symptoms, like dizziness when standing, constipation, urinary problems, or abnormal sweating, predict who will get the most benefit from rehabilitation and how those symptoms shape quality of life for people with Parkinson's disease or multiple system atrophy. Participants take part in rehabilitation focused on improving mobility, reducing pain, and managing autonomic problems, while researchers use validated clinical scales to measure pain, orthostatic blood pressure changes, bowel and bladder symptoms, mood, and quality of life, then link those measures to rehab outcomes. The study is looking for adults 18 and older with a clinical diagnosis of Parkinson's disease or MSA and a Mini-Mental State Examination score of at least 10, and it excludes people with vascular or drug-induced parkinsonism, diabetes, major liver or kidney disorders, thyroid disease, or use of potentially neurotoxic drugs.
