Rehab program for genetic and degenerative ataxia
Part of Brain & nervous system, Genetic & congenital clinical trials.
This trial tests a rehabilitation program for people with genetic or degenerative cerebellar ataxia (a condition affecting coordination). It aims to see if the program can improve movement and daily function.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have been diagnosed with genetic or degenerative cerebellar ataxia, confirmed by an MRI scan.
- You can walk on flat ground without help, using a cane or walker if needed.
- You have not been in a rehabilitation hospital stay longer than 3 weeks in the past year.
- You are not currently in another trial testing a treatment that could affect your recovery.

This trial studies whether a home exercise program is safe and helpful for people with certain neurodegenerative conditions, including X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy and DARS2-related disease, as well as some other similar diagnoses. You would be asked to do exercises at home and be assessed on your walking and strength/safety.
This study tests a home-based walking and balance training program for people with cerebellar ataxia or Parkinson's disease. The training is done at home, so you don't need to travel. The goal is to see if this simple exercise program can improve your walking and balance.
This study checks how well a computer algorithm (called RADIAL) can find the cause of autosomal recessive cerebellar ataxia using genetic information. It may help confirm diagnoses when the genetic cause is still unknown and other causes have already been ruled out.
This study uses a new, more detailed genetic test (long-read sequencing) to find the cause of inherited or early-onset balance disorders (cerebellar ataxias) when standard genetic testing has not provided answers. It may help you and your family understand why the condition occurs.
This study tests whether a supervised exercise program (including pool exercises) can help people with certain types of hereditary ataxia. The goal is to see if it reduces symptoms like muscle stiffness and coordination problems.
This trial tests whether a home-based exercise program (done through video calls) can improve core strength and balance in people with a specific type of inherited ataxia. You would participate from home with a therapist guiding you online.
