Cycling training for ataxia recovery in SCA
Part of Brain & nervous system, Genetic & congenital clinical trials.
This study tests whether cycling-based coordination training can help people with spinocerebellar ataxia (SCA) improve balance and movement by priming the brain for recovery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must have a clinical diagnosis of spinocerebellar ataxia (SCA).
- You must not have any leg injuries, such as fractures or sprains.
- You must not have osteoporosis (brittle bones).
- You must not have any other conditions affecting your brain or nerves, like a stroke or neuropathy.

This study tests whether a non-invasive brain stimulation treatment (called cerebellar transcranial magnetic stimulation) can help improve balance and coordination in people with spinocerebellar ataxia. It may offer a new way to ease symptoms without surgery.
This trial tests an experimental stem cell treatment for people with SCA3, a genetic condition that affects balance and coordination. The goal is to see if the treatment can help improve or slow down these symptoms.
This trial tests a non-invasive brain stimulation method to see if it can improve movement and balance in people with spinocerebellar ataxia type 3. It aims to find the best settings for this treatment.
This study tests two different intensities of balance and walking exercises to see if they improve movement and coordination for people with ataxia (trouble controlling muscles) after a brain injury or other brain condition. The goal is to find a more effective way to help you walk more steadily and move more easily.
This study tests a new kind of deep brain stimulation that adjusts automatically to improve balance and coordination in adults with SCA6, a genetic form of ataxia. It may help patients who can still walk but have moderate to severe symptoms.
This study tests a single injection of umbilical cord stem cells for adults with spinocerebellar ataxia, a condition that affects balance and coordination. The goal is to see if it can slow down or improve symptoms.
