ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is exploring how art therapy can help people with Progressive Supranuclear Palsy (PSP), a condition that affects movement and balance. The study aims to see if engaging in art activities can reduce symptoms of PSP, improve the quality of life for patients, and lessen the stress that caregivers often experience. By participating in this trial, individuals with PSP may find new ways to express themselves and enjoy life more fully.

To be eligible for this study, participants must have a diagnosis of PSP and be able to understand and agree to take part in the trial. Unfortunately, those with other neurological conditions or significant cognitive challenges that prevent them from providing consent won't be able to participate. If you join the study, you can expect to participate in art therapy sessions designed specifically for your needs, helping both you and your caregivers in the process. This is an exciting opportunity to explore the potential benefits of art in managing PSP and enhancing overall well-being.
