First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study uses high-resolution ultrasound to look at nerves in people with Friedreich ataxia, a rare inherited disease that damages the nervous system and heart. Researchers want to see if nerve size and blood flow are different in these patients. The goal is to find new ways to measure how the disease progresses. 14 adults with confirmed Friedreich ataxia will take part.
