Behavioural Intervention
Rehabilitation Program for Spastic Ataxia
Recruiting1 award
Baie-Saint-Paul, Quebec
This trial aims to evaluate the effectiveness of a 12-week rehabilitation program called IMPACT on individuals with spastic ataxias. Spastic ataxias are diseases that cause walking difficulties and balance issues

Trials for CA Patients
Non-invasive Brain Stimulation
TMS for Cerebellar Ataxia
Recruiting1 award4 criteria
Elkins Park, Pennsylvania
This trial aims to see if brain activity can predict and improve motor learning in people with cerebellar ataxia. It uses non-invasive brain stimulation to adjust brain activity and tests if this helps patients learn new movement skills better.
Behavioral Intervention
Physical Activity Coaching for Ataxia
Recruiting1 awardPhase 1
New York, New York
This trial will test whether a physical activity coaching program can help people with cerebellar ataxia increase their physical activity. The program will use a physical or occupational therapist to provide up to five one-on-one coaching sessions for newly diagnosed individuals. Participants will be assessed twice, three months apart, and will receive coaching interventions via Zoom healthcare platform.
Behavioral Intervention
Exercise Therapy for Cerebellar Ataxia
Recruiting1 award4 criteria
New York, New York
This trial will use neuroimaging techniques to study the effects of balance and aerobic training on the brain, specifically the degenerating cerebellum. The hypothesis is that balance training impacts structures outside the cerebellum while aerobic training affects the cerebellum itself.
Behavioral Intervention
Visual Feedback Reach Training for Ataxia
Recruiting1 award2 criteria
Baltimore, Maryland
This trial compares two training methods to improve arm movements in people with cerebellar ataxia. It targets individuals who struggle with movement coordination due to cerebellum damage. The methods involve practicing reaching movements with feedback to enhance coordination.
Trials for Friedreich Ataxia Patients
Quinone Analog
Vatiquinone for Friedreich Ataxia
Recruiting2 awardsPhase 3
Los Angeles, California
This trial is testing the long-term safety and effectiveness of vatiquinone in people with Friedreich ataxia who have already used this medication. The goal is to ensure it remains safe and helpful over an extended period. Idebenone, a predecessor to vatiquinone, has been used in Friedreich's ataxia patients and shown positive effects on cardiac hypertrophy.
Gene Therapy
Gene Therapy for Cardiomyopathy in Friedreich's Ataxia
Recruiting1 awardPhase 1 & 2
Los Angeles, California
This trial will test a new gene therapy for Friedreich's Ataxia, a rare degenerative disease. The therapy will be delivered intravenously and will be evaluated for safety and efficacy over a 5 year period.
Gene Therapy
Gene Therapy for Cardiomyopathy in Friedreich's Ataxia
Recruiting1 awardPhase 1
New York, New York
This trial is testing a gene therapy to treat Friedreich's ataxia, a disease that affects the heart. The therapy uses a virus to deliver the gene. It will be given intravenously to 10 people to see if it is safe and effective.
Trials With No Placebo
Behavioral Intervention
Exercise Intensity and Balance Training for Spinocerebellar Ataxia
Recruiting1 award6 criteria
New York, New York
This trial is testing two different online exercise routines for people with spinocerebellar ataxias (SCAs). One routine involves intense cardio workouts before balance exercises, while the other involves light exercises like stretching before balance exercises. The goal is to see which routine better improves balance and motor skills in people with SCAs.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need insurance to participate in a trial?
Almost all clinical trials will cover the cost of the 'trial drug' — so no insurance is required for this. For trials where this trial drug is given alongside an already-approved medication, there may be a cost (which your insurance would normally cover).
Is there any support for travel costs?
Many of the teams running clinical trials will cover the cost of transportation to-and-from their care center.
Will I know what medication I am taking?
This depends on the specific study. If you're worried about receiving a placebo, you can actively filter out these trials using our search.
How long do clinical trials last?
Some trials will only require a single visit, while others will continue until your disease returns. It's fairly common for a trial to last somewhere between 1 and 6 months.
Do you verify all the trials on your website?
All of the trials listed on Power have been formally registered with the US Food and Drug Administration. Beyond this, some trials on Power have been formally 'verified' if the team behind the trial has completed an additional level of verification with our team.
How quickly will I hear back from a clinical trial?
Sadly, this response time can take anywhere from 6 hours to 2 weeks. We're working hard to speed up how quickly you hear back — in general, verified trials respond to patients within a few days.
