Autosomal dominant cerebellar ataxia
MONDO:0020380A clinically and genetically heterogeneous group of neurodegenerative diseases characterized by a slowly progressive ataxia of gait, stance and limbs, dysarthria and/or oculomotor disorder, due to cerebellar degeneration in the absence of coexisting diseases. The degenerative process can be limited to the cerebellum (ADCA type 3) or may additionally involve the retina (ADCA type 2), optic nerve, ponto-medullary systems, basal ganglia, cerebral cortex, spinal tracts or peripheral nerves (ADCA type 1). In ACDA type 4, a cerebellar syndrome is associated with epilepsy.
Also known as: SCA, spinocerebellar ataxia, ADCA, Autosomal Dominant Hereditary Ataxia, autosomal dominant spinocerebellar ataxia, cerebellar ataxia, autosomal dominant, Pierre Marie cerebellar ataxia (formerly)

Can targeted brain zaps ease movement problems in a rare ataxia?
Disease control Not yet recruitingThis trial tests a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called transcranial temporal interference stimulation (tTIS) in people with spinocerebellar ataxia type 3, a genetic condition that affects coordination and balance. The stimulation targets a deep brain region involved i…

Can brain stimulation tame ataxia?
Disease control Not yet recruitingThis trial tests whether deep brain stimulation (DBS) targeting the cerebellum is safe and feasible for people with spinocerebellar ataxia types 1 and 3, a group of inherited disorders that cause progressive problems with movement and coordination. The study will enroll 12 adults…

Could stem cells help people with spinocerebellar ataxia? new trial aims to find out
Disease control Not yet recruitingThis Phase 2 trial tests whether umbilical cord stem cells can safely improve movement and coordination in people with spinocerebellar ataxia (types 1, 2, 3, and 6). Forty-five participants will receive the cells through an IV and a spinal injection. The main goal is to see if sy…

Could stem cells help people with spinocerebellar ataxia?
Disease control Not yet recruitingThis early-stage trial tests whether stem cells and their exosomes (tiny particles that help cells communicate) can safely improve movement in people with spinocerebellar ataxia, a condition that affects coordination and balance. Ninety participants will receive the treatment thr…

Can intense walking training help brain injury patients walk better?
Symptom relief Not yet recruitingThis study looks at whether high-intensity walking training can help people with cerebellar damage (a part of the brain that controls balance and coordination) improve their walking ability. Twenty participants will either do intense walking exercises or standard training. The go…

AI vs. experts: can a computer judge speech as well as a human?
Knowledge-focused Not yet recruitingThis study will compare how well an AI program (Blings) measures speech clarity in 40 adults with speech disorders from stroke or other neurological conditions. Two speech therapists will also rate the same speech samples. The goal is to see if the AI can reliably replace or assi…
