Brain donations could help researchers find the cause(s), more treatments and a cure for MSA. The examination of brain tissue is vital in this research process. A brain donation involves a simple procedure and it does not hinder the funeral or any burial plans. In some cases, the cost of brain procurement (when a technician removes it and sends it to a brain bank) can be offset by a grant from an institution or charity.
For many, a brain donation is the ultimate gift for generations to come – because MSA brain research could help bring about more treatments, more ways to help diagnose MSA and eventually, a cure!
If you are a patient and are considering a brain donation, please contact us, using the information below. There are several institutions in US, Canada and other countries as well, that are currently doing MSA related brain research and desperately need brain donations. There is a place on the form to indicate the choice of brain bank, if applicable.
For families in the USA or Canada, we will help you facilitate a brain donation. Because Defeat MSA Alliance is an IRS approved public charity, we do not collaborate with nor support any 3rd party profit-driven brain procurement organizations or companies.
