About this trial
The purpose of this study is verify the safety and efficacy of Human Umbilical Cord Mesenchymal Stem Cells (UC-MSC) therapy for patients with Spinocerebellar Ataxia, and in addition, explore the possible mechanisms of UC-MSC therapy in Spinocerebellar Ataxia.
Eligibility criteria
This trial does not accept healthy volunteersQualifiers
Clinical and genomic test diagnoses as spinocerebellar ataxias (SCA) (include SCA 1, SCA 2, SCA 3, SCA 6), SARA (Scale for Assessment and Rating of Ataxia) score is 2-5, can complete 8-meter walking test(8MW)
Do not receive stem cells treatment in 6 months
Participants sign the consent form based on the experiment process and statement
Disqualifiers

Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Scale for the assessment anf rating of ataxia (SARA)
Based on SARA score to calculate treatment efficacy. The equation is as follow, Efficacy = (patients who accepted treatment are effective/patients who accepted treatment)\* 100% Effective: after 12 months, score of patient decrease 1 point or more; Ineffective: after 12 months, score decrease less than 1 point or increase.
Secondary outcomes
Image examinations
MRI plain scan of brain.
Inventory of Non-Ataxia Symptoms (INAS) score
Using Inventory of Non-Ataxia Symptoms (INAS) score to determine the presence and severity of non-ataxia signs.
Cerebrospinal fluid (csf) routine
Patients is observed by professionals, compare the changes of each observation point and baseline. Baseline is the data acquire from patients before stem cells treatment.
