What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing This study
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

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.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This study uses small body-worn sensors to measure movement during simple coordination tests in people with spinocerebellar ataxia, a condition that affects balance and walking. Researchers aim to see if these sensors can accurately track disease severity and progression. The study involves 600 participants, including healthy controls, and compares sensor data to patient-reported outcomes.

What this could mean

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

What this could lead to
If successful, this could lead to better ways to measure ataxia progression using simple wearable devices, helping future treatment trials.
What could go wrong
This is an observational study, not testing a treatment. The sensors may not prove more useful than standard exams, and results may not apply to all patients.

Show the full entry requirements

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: * Ataxia Group - Individuals who have a genetic-confirmation of SCA diagnosis and are able to sit or stand unassisted for 30 seconds and follow directions. * Healthy Control Group - Individuals who are able to sit or stand unassisted for 30 seconds and follow directions. Exclusion Criteria: * Any other neurological or musculoskeletal disorder not attributed to the SCA that could affect balance, gait or voluntary movement.
