Identification of Biomarkers in Spinocerebellar Ataxia 3

Spinocerebellar Ataxia Type 3

The purpose of this study is to examine the differences in cerebral spinal fluid (CSF) and blood of patients with spinocerebellar ataxias and healthy volunteers. The goal of this project is to identify new biomarkers that are useful for characterizing spinocerebellar ataxias and identify targets for treatment or prevention of this condition.

Randomized Controlled Trial of Biofeedback Therapy for Dyssynergic Defecation

Dyssynergia

Constipation is a common disorder and current treatments are unsatisfactory. Biofeedback may help patients with constipation and dyssynergic defecation, but its efficacy is unproven and whether this is due to behavioral modification or excessive attention is unknown. Methods: In a prospective randomized trial, the investigators investigated the efficacy of Biofeedback (manometric- assisted anal relaxation, muscle coordination and simulated defecation training), with either sham feedback therapy (Sham) or standard therapy (diet, exercise, laxatives; Standard) in 77 subjects (69 women) with dyssynergic defecation. Primary outcome measures included presence of dyssynergia, balloon expulsion time, number of complete spontaneous bowel movements (CSBM), and global bowel satisfaction. Data analyzed per protocol.

Motor Learning After Cerebellar Damage: The Role of the Primary Motor Cortex

Cerebellar Ataxia

This study will determine (1) whether baseline inhibitory activity in the primary motor cortex can predict motor learning ability in individuals with cerebellar degeneration, and (2) whether modulating primary motor cortex activity with non-invasive brain stimulation alters motor learning ability in this population.

Transcranial Alternating Current Stimulation (tACS) in Patients With Ataxia

AtaxiaSpinocerebellar Ataxias3 more

The aim of the study is to evaluate the effects on motor and cognitive performance of transcranial alternating current stimulation (tACS) compared to transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) and placebo stimulation (sham) in patients with neurodegenerative ataxia to identify a possible rehabilitation protocol.

Safety, Tolerability and Efficacy of ACTIMMUNE® Dose Escalation in Friedreich's Ataxia

Friedreich's Ataxia

The purpose of this phase 3 randomized, multi-center, double-blind, placebo-controlled study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of ACTIMMUNE® (interferon-γ 1b) in the treatment of Friedreich's Ataxia (FA) and to evaluate the pharmacokinetic (PK) characteristics of ACTIMMUNE® in FA patients.

EDS in Ataxia Telangiectasia Patients

Nervous System DiseaseGenetic Syndrome

This is an international, multi-center, one-year, randomized, prospective, double-blind, placebo-controlled, phase III study, designed to assess the effect of two non-overlapping dose ranges of EDS EP, administered by IV infusion once per month, on neurological symptoms of patients with Ataxia Telangiectasia.

Clinical Interest of the Temporary Urethral Stent Allium " Bulbar Urethral Stent " in the Treatment...

Detrusor Striated Sphincter Dyssynergia (DSSD)

Detrusor striated sphincter dyssynergia (DSSD) is defined as the persistence or increasing of the striated sphincter activity during voiding and characterizes the spinal cord injuries located under the protuberance. The standard treatment for DSSD is medical, either pharmacological or by clean intermittent self-catheterisation (CISC). Some patients are unable to perform CISC and require alternative surgical techniques such as external sphincterotomy which is invasive, irreversible and with no adjustment period for the patient. Urethral stents have been developed as an alternative to surgical sphincterotomy. Temporary stents provide a non-definitive treatment, especially for evolutionary pathologies, for patients refusing a destructive surgery (psychosocial impact), or for patients having not defined yet their therapeutic preference. The Allium company has developed the " Bulbar Urethral Stent " (BUS) system, which advantages are the possibility to perform the procedure under local anesthesia and to remove more easily the stent, with similar performances compared to the other devices. In order to quantify the interest of the BUS system, the investigators propose to perform a prospective study aimed at describing its technical and clinical results in terms of efficacy and safety.

Ataxia and Exercise Disease Using MRI and Gait Analysis

AtaxiaSpino Cerebellar Degeneration1 more

The first 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.

Clinical Effects of Oral Trehalose In Patients With Spinocerebellar Ataxia 3

Spinocerebellar Ataxia 3

There are no clinically established treatments which have been proven to delay the disease progression in spinocerebellar ataxia (SCA) 3. Most available treatments are only for symptom alleviation, and thus the majority of patients will eventually progress to needing and wheel chair and eventually bedridden. As trehalose appear to be potentially promising treatment in SCA, the investigators aim to conduct this study using oral trehalose in our genetically confirmed SCA 3 patients.

Dual Task Training On Children With Ataxia After Medulloblastoma Resection

MedulloblastomaChildhood1 more

Medulloblastoma is a rapidly-growing tumor of the cerebellum, this area controls balance, posture and sophisticated motor functions like finer hand movements, speech, and swallowing. With the goal of, complete resection, major complications during tumor removal are usually caused by damage to the brain stem and injury to the lower cranial nerves.It has been reported that those children present Ataxia after resection. So the purpose of this study is to investigate the effectiveness of using a selected dual-task- training program to improve postural stability in those Children.
