Summary

This resolution seeks to designate May 2026 as Progressive Supranuclear Palsy and Corticobasal Degeneration Awareness Month . Progressive Supranuclear Palsy (PSP) and Corticobasal Degeneration (CBD) are rare, adult-onset, and rapidly progressing neurodegenerative disorders that significantly impact movement, balance, speech, and cognition. These conditions, which affect an estimated 32,000 Americans, are often misdiagnosed and currently lack disease-modifying treatments, leading to significant challenges for patients and their caregivers. The resolution supports the goals of this awareness month, which include fostering greater understanding among the public, healthcare professionals, and policymakers. It specifically calls for increased research into the diagnosis, prevention, treatments, and potential cures for PSP and CBD. Furthermore, the resolution recognizes the strength and resilience of the affected community and commends the individuals, families, and organizations dedicated to improving the lives of those living with these debilitating diseases.
