MSUD PATIENT REGISTRY

 

The MSUD Family Support Group Registry is a patient-driven registry that allows people who are impacted by MSUD to share their health data and experience living with the condition. This research initiative has been identified by the MSUD Scientific Advisory Board as the #1 priority for the MSUD community.

The MSUD Registry collects information on diagnosis, management, treatment practices, barriers to care, and quality of life, creating a roadmap for researchers in their quest to better understand the needs of our community and to develop new treatments and potential cures for this disease.

Information on long-term health and quality of life in individuals with MSUD is lacking.

Your participation in this registry will provide a substantial gain to the scientific community. It may help to eliminate gaps in medical services provided and improve access to care while establishing best standards of practice for clinical management of all impacted by MSUD.

 

The MSUD registry can provide natural history data to support clinical trials as well as provide a better understanding of long-term outcomes and unmet medical needs that ultimately will lead to better patient care and treatments and improved quality of life. Your participation is essential!

 

 Follow these links to the CoRDS web page  to learn more and to add your information to the registry.  The videos below will help walk you through it. Your participation will help us advance the search for better treatments and potential cures for MSUD. Help improve the lives of those with MSUD by registering today!
