Plant extracts used by indigenous people hold promise in treatment of ataxia
The plants contain the first-known compounds to reverse dysfunction caused by gene mutations underlying specific neuromuscular and coordination problems
=> In specific:
“Gallic acid in particular is of therapeutic interest because it is already available over the counter as a nutritional supplement and is very well tolerated in toxicity studies.”
Anyone?
Very interesting. Thank you for posting.
Yes! Very interesting. Keep up the good work.
Thank you for sharing this… I wonder if this study will cast a wider net to see if there are any implications for other types of ataxia as well.
Thanks for sharing, fingers crossed there is something beneficial in this research.

Treatment development is a long process that involves multiple phases of a clinical trial and oversight by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). NAF is committed to empowering you with up-to-date information about Ataxia treatment development. The pipelines are visual tools that were created to show the progress of all Ataxia therapies that are currently being developed. There is a pipeline for each type of Ataxia that currently has therapies in development.
