Manto M, Dupre N, Hadjivassiliou M, Louis ED, Mitoma H, Molinari M, Shaikh AG, Soong B-W, Strupp M, Van Overwalle F and Schmahmann JD (2020). Front. Neurol. 11:516. doi: 10.3389/fneur.2020.00516

None of us has ever personally encountered such a dire situation as is posed by this pandemic. This set of recommendations offered by the international panel of ataxia experts is based on our collective clinical experience and review of the rapidly expanding clinical and basic science literature. We expect that the results of clinical trials and larger studies of the pandemic in all its manifestations will enable us to provide more substantive and evidence-based guidelines for neurologists, including ataxiologists, in the future.
