Summary

The purpose of this study is to investigate the long-term effects of treatment with the selective post-synaptic a1-adrenergic blocker terazosin on serial in a population of subjects with defined pre-motor Parkinson's disease (PD) risks and abnormal imaging exams. Imaging changes will be correlated to the presence and severity of motor and non-motor symptoms of PD, measured by validated clinical scales and cardiac autonomic function tests.

Conditions

  • Symptomatic Parkinson Disease
  • REM Sleep Behavior Disorder
  • Pre-motor Parkinson's Disease

Interventions

DRUG

Terazosin therapy

Primary procedures in this study are MIBG scan, DAT scan, NM-MRI, and terazosin titration. Subjects will return for research visits and imaging every six months for three years. The investigators hypothesize that the rate of decline in DAT scan123I-Ioflupane uptake will be slower in subjects who have received the a1- Adrenergic Receptor Antagonist Terazosin, resulting in a decreased clinical conversion rate to parkinsonism.
