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.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests whether a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) can improve balance and coordination in people with hereditary spinocerebellar ataxia. If you have a confirmed genetic diagnosis of SCA1, 2, or 3 and are between 18 and 65, you may be eligible.
This trial tests a stem cell therapy called Stemchymal® for people with a specific type of hereditary ataxia (SCA3). It aims to see if the treatment can improve balance and coordination.
This trial tests a non-invasive brain stimulation method called transcranial temporal interference stimulation to see if it can improve symptoms of spinocerebellar ataxia type 3 (a condition affecting balance and coordination). It aims to find the best stimulation settings to help with movement and gait.
This study tests a noninvasive electrical stimulation therapy applied to the spine to see if it can improve movement and coordination in people with spinocerebellar ataxia. It may help with walking and balance.
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 Phase 2 study tests an umbilical cord “stem cell” treatment to improve symptoms in people with spinocerebellar ataxia (a nerve condition that affects balance and walking). It may help walking ability and overall ataxia symptoms, but you must meet specific health and lab safety checks.
