Cerebellar ataxia
MONDO:0000437A neurological syndrome characterized by clumsy and uncoordinated movement of the limbs, trunk, and cranial muscles. It results from pathology in the cerebellum and its connections, or in the proprioceptive sensory pathways.
Also known as: ataxia syndrome, cerebellar ataxias, spinocerebellar ataxia, spinocerebellar degeneration, ataxia, ataxia, cerebellar, ataxias, cerebellar, cerebellar dysmetria

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…

Light therapy shows promise for ataxia symptoms in early trial
Symptom relief Not yet recruitingThis pilot study tests whether shining red and near-infrared light on the scalp (photobiomodulation) can temporarily improve balance and cognitive function in 20 adults with ataxia. Participants will receive either active light or a sham device in a randomized, placebo-controlled…

Brain zaps could help kids with rare movement disorder walk better
Symptom relief Not yet recruitingThis study tests whether a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called rTMS can improve movement and balance in children with cerebellar ataxia, a condition that causes coordination problems. Twenty children aged 4 to 18 will receive either real or sham (fake) rTMS to see if …
