Autosomal dominant cerebellar ataxia

This trial tests whether robot-assisted neurorehabilitation can improve coordination, balance, and walking in adults with ataxia, a condition that affects movement control. Participants will receive either robotic or standard rehabilitation, and researchers will measure changes i…

This study tests a personalized medicine called an antisense oligonucleotide, designed specifically for one person with dentatorubral-pallidoluysian atrophy (DRPLA), a rare genetic brain disorder. The treatment aims to reduce seizures and improve quality of life by targeting the …

This early-stage trial tests a single injection of ARO-ATXN2 in 36 adults with spinocerebellar ataxia type 2, a rare genetic disorder that affects movement and coordination. The main goal is to see if the drug is safe and how the body processes it. Participants are randomly assig…

This phase 3 trial tests whether the drug troriluzole can slow the progression of spinocerebellar ataxia, a rare genetic disorder that affects coordination and balance. About 300 adults with different types of SCA are randomly assigned to take either troriluzole or a placebo dail…

This study looks at whether the drug troriluzole can slow the progression of spinocerebellar ataxia (SCA), a rare genetic disease that affects movement and balance. Researchers will compare 909 patients who took troriluzole for up to three years with similar patients who did not …

This study tests a custom-made drug called an antisense oligonucleotide (ASO) designed for one person with dentatorubral-pallidoluysian atrophy (DRPLA), a rare genetic disorder that affects movement and brain function. The drug aims to reduce the harmful effects of the mutated AT…

This study tests a custom-made genetic medicine (called an antisense oligonucleotide) designed for one person with dentatorubral-pallidoluysian atrophy (DRPLA), a rare inherited brain disorder. The treatment aims to reduce seizures and improve quality of life. Only one participan…

This study tests if a drug called dalargin can prevent serious organ problems like kidney injury, lung failure, or heart damage after major abdominal surgery. About 200 adults having high-risk surgery will get either dalargin or a placebo for 3 days. The goal is to see if dalargi…

This study looks at whether a gentle brain stimulation technique (tDCS) combined with a special exercise program can reduce symptoms of spinocerebellar ataxia, a disease that affects coordination and balance. Fifteen adults who can walk (with or without help) will receive either …

This study tests whether a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) can improve movement in people with degenerative ataxia, a rare condition that damages the cerebellum and impairs balance and coordination. Sixteen participan…

This study follows 25 people with spinocerebellar ataxia type 7 (SCA7) for up to 5 years to learn how the disease changes vision, coordination, and thinking. Participants will have yearly eye exams, brain scans, and neurological tests. No treatment is given; the goal is to gather…

This study examines walking patterns in people with Parkinson's disease and similar neurological conditions, as well as healthy volunteers. Researchers aim to identify unique 'gait signatures'—speed-dependent measures of walking—that could help distinguish between different disor…

This study was designed to see if a smartphone app called iBlink can measure how well the brain learns new movements in people with spinocerebellar ataxia, a rare and serious movement disorder. Researchers planned to compare aerobic exercise with balance training to see which bet…

This study from Mayo Clinic is creating a large collection of blood, urine, stool, spinal fluid, and skin samples from 1000 people with ataxia and related genetic diseases, plus their healthy family members. The goal is to better understand the genetic and physical features of th…
