What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Evaluate association between clinical autonomic failure and neuropathological autonomic failure on biopsies.
Time Frame: 3 months

the main objective is to look after associations between :

  • anatomopathological signs of autonomic nervous system disorders seen on biopsies AND
  • clinical signs of signs of autonomic nervous system disorders seen through functional tests or through symptoms indicated by the patient on questionaries.
3 months

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Evaluate association between autonomic failure and severity factors in Parkinson's disease
Time Frame: 3 months

Autonomic failure will be assessed through questionaries on symptoms and through functional tests.

Severity factors in parkinson disease will refer to various parameters like patient age.

3 months
Evaluate consequences of autonomic failure on quality of life and sleep quality
Time Frame: 3 months
quality of life and of sleep will be assessed through functional tests and through questionaries.
3 months
