NORD study welcomes those with rare diseases to participate

Oregon State University is teaming up with the National Organization for Rare Disorders (NORD, rarediseases.org) in conducting a large-scale study about the “information and psychosocial support needs of people living with rare disorders.”  Only those with a rare disorder or undiagnosed rare condition may participate in this 40-minute online survey.  Caregivers are not eligible to participate at this time.

Within Brain Support Network, these three diagnoses are considered rare:

  • PSP (progressive supranuclear palsy)
  • MSA (multiple system atrophy)
  • CBD (corticobasal degeneration)

Of course, LBD (Lewy body dementia) is NOT a rare disorder.
