Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now This study
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.

Summary

This study tests a 12-week supervised rehabilitation program for people with two rare genetic conditions that cause walking and balance problems (spastic ataxias). The program includes twice-weekly therapy sessions and once-weekly pool exercises. Researchers want to see if it reduces disease severity and fall risk compared to usual care. 84 participants are being recruited.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
supervised rehabilitation program (balance, coordination, and pool exercises)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could provide an effective non-drug therapy to improve mobility and reduce falls in people with spastic ataxias.
What could go wrong
This is a relatively small trial (84 people) and the program requires significant time and supervision, so results may not apply to everyone. There is also no guarantee it will outperform usual care.
