Eire, there a lot of new things going on in trials.
I am an sca6. But many of the trials apply to most forms of ataxia.
I am waiting to participate in the study at Beth Israel in boston. It uses magnetic fields and the study lasts about a month. I have heard good things about it and also got encouragement to try it when I spoke to Drs. at this year’s national ataxia foundation meeting in Denver.
There are also some new medications that may be helpful.
