Prospective, exploratory, multicenter pilot study investigating the structural and functional connectome in patients with Friedreich's Ataxia (FRDA) using high-density electroencephalogram (HD-EEG). The aim is to identify neurophysiological biomarkers and analyze the relationship between cortical connectivity, cognitive functioning, and clinical severity, particularly in response to rehabilitation treatment.Read full original descriptionShow less
Structural-Functional Connectome and High Density Electroencephalogram: Pilot Study in Patients With Friedreich's Ataxia.
Prospective, exploratory, multicenter pilot study investigating the structural and functional connectome in patients with Friedreich's Ataxia (FRDA) using high-density electroencephalogram (HD-EEG). The aim is to identify neurophysiological biomarkers and analyze the relationship between cortical connectivity, cognitive functioning, and clinical severity, particularly in response to rehabilitation treatment.
Inclusion: age between 8 and 60 years; genetic diagnosis of FRDA: presence of guanine-adenine trinucleotide (GAA) expansion in the two alleles of the fratassin gene, GAA1 and GAA2; score on the Scale for the Assessment and Rating of Ataxia (SARA) < 30; ability to take part in a neuropsychological assessment in Italian.
Exclusion: age different from the range 8-60 years; diagnosis of acquired ataxia or other genetic ataxias; SARA scale score ≥ 30; inability to take part in an Italian-language neuropsychological assessment.
