UNDERSTANDING MSA
A rare neurological condition.
A community that understands.
Multiple System Atrophy, commonly known as MSA, is a rare and progressive neurological condition that affects movement, balance and automatic functions of the body such as blood pressure, bladder control and breathing.
For people living with MSA and those who care for them, a diagnosis can bring many questions.
National MSA Research is working to make reliable information easier to find, strengthen connections across the MSA community and support research that may lead to better understanding, treatments and outcomes.
Whether you are living with MSA, supporting someone you love, or simply want to learn more, you are not alone.
RESEARCH & HOPE
Supporting research that moves us forward.
There is currently no cure for Multiple System Atrophy, and much remains to be understood about what causes the condition and how it progresses.
National MSA Research supports research, collaboration and greater awareness of MSA so that researchers, clinicians, families and the wider community can work toward better answers.
We believe progress comes from connecting people, sharing knowledge and supporting high-quality research that can improve understanding, care and future treatment options.
Our role is to help strengthen those connections and support work that can make a meaningful difference for people affected by MSA.

Supporting research. Building connections. Creating hope.
Multiple System Atrophy remains a complex and poorly understood neurological condition, and there is still much to learn about what causes it, how it progresses and how it may one day be treated.
National MSA Research works to support greater awareness, stronger connections and future research opportunities that may improve understanding, care and outcomes for people affected by MSA.
As our research partnerships and funded projects grow, we will share those developments here.
