Cerebellar rTMS and Physical Therapy for Cerebellar Ataxia
Multiple System AtrophyCerebellar Variant (Disorder)1 moreThe present study investigated the efficacy and safety of combination treatment of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) and physical therapy (PT) in patients with cerebellar variant of multiple system atrophy (MSA-C) and spinocerebellar ataxia.
Effect of Motor Imagery Training on Ataxic Children After Medulloblastoma Resection
Cerebellar AtaxiaBackground: after resection of medulloblastoma in children they suffer from signs and symptoms of ataxia which impedes their activities of daily living. purpose: to investigate the effect motor imagery training on balance, severity of ataxia and gait parameters on children after resection of medulloblastoma. Methods: Fifty children surfing from cerebellar ataxia after medulloblastoma resection were selected from tumors hospital of Cairo University, their age ranged from seven to nine years old, they were randomly assigned into two matched control and study groups. The control groups received the selected physical therapy program while, the study group received motor imaginary training in addition to the selected physical therapy program. Both groups were evaluated by ataxic rating scale, pediatric berg balance scale and kinematic gait analysis by kinovea software.
Effect of Training on Brain Volume in Ataxia
Spinocerebellar AtaxiasThe primary aim is to show balance training improves DCD individual's ability to compensate for their activity limitations, but does not impact disease progression. The second aim is to demonstrate aerobic exercise improves balance and gait in DCD persons by affecting brain processes and slowing cerebellar atrophy.
Study to Evaluate DT-216 in Adult Patients With Friedreich Ataxia
Friedreich AtaxiaThe purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic effects of intravenous DT-216 in adult patients with Friedreich Ataxia. This single ascending dose study is randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled.
A First in Human Study of RT001 in Patients With Friedreich's Ataxia
Friedreich's AtaxiaThe purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics of RT001 in patients with Friedreich's ataxia.
Methylprednisolone Treatment of Friedreich Ataxia
Friedreich AtaxiaThis study will explore whether methylprednisolone treatment is safe, well-tolerated, and beneficial in patients that are diagnosed with Friedreich Ataxia (FRDA). The study will also explore if methylprednisolone has any effects on biomarkers associated with FRDA. All subjects in the study will receive the same steroid treatment.
(+) Epicatechin to Treat Friedreich's Ataxia
Friedreich's AtaxiaThis 24-week study will test the safety and effectiveness of synthetically produced (+) Epicatechin in treating patients who have Friedreich's Ataxia, a neurological disorder.
Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation in Spino-Cerebellar Ataxia
Spinocerebellar AtaxiaSpinocerebellar Ataxia (SCA) refers to a family of genetic diseases that cause progressive problems with gait and balance, as well as other debilitating symptoms. This is a randomized controlled pilot study to test a novel therapeutic intervention that uses noninvasive magnetic brain stimulation to improve functional outcomes in patients with SCA. The study will include quantitative evaluations of gait, balance, and brain physiology to examine possible objective end-points for a future, larger multi-site clinical trial. The investigators anticipate that patients receiving the real intervention will show a functional gain.
Citocoline for Treatment in Fragile X-associated Tremor/Ataxia Syndrome
Fragile X Tremor/Ataxia SyndromeThe objective of this study is to determine if citocoline is effective for balance abnormalities and to stabilize cognitive decline in patients with fragile X-associated tremor ataxia syndrome. The study will test 1000mg twice daily of citocoline for 12 months in an open label pilot study, with study visits at baseline, 3, 6, and 12 months.
