Can a supplement and exercise improve stamina in Friedreich's ataxia?
NCT ID NCT04192136
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at whether taking an NAD+ precursor (a vitamin-like supplement) along with exercise training can improve aerobic capacity (how well the body uses oxygen during exercise) in people with Friedreich's ataxia. The trial included 75 participants aged 10 to 40. Researchers measured changes in peak oxygen uptake and insulin sensitivity to see if the combination helps.
