BEWARE OF FAKE NEWS AND PSEUDOSCIENCE
Pseudoscience is based on beliefs, practices, or theories that present themselves as scientific but don't conform to valid scientific methods . It's important for those with ataxia (or any other disease!) to stay well-informed and grounded in reality, always validating the information they read on social media without blindly believing fake news about miraculous treatments (and often paid ones—unfortunately, there are unscrupulous individuals who take advantage of the desperation and lack of knowledge of patients with serious illnesses to sell products and services not yet approved by regulatory agencies, or to charge a high price for still-experimental therapies).
EVIDENCE-BASED MEDICINE
When you receive information about a new medication or treatment for ataxia, talk to your neurologist to verify the information, and check if there is any registration of the study on clinicaltrials.gov.
