Cerebellar stimulation for ataxia symptoms
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This trial tests a brain stimulation technique (tACS-iTBS) on the cerebellum to see if it can improve coordination and movement problems caused by ataxia. It might help if you have a stable medication routine and can follow instructions.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed with ataxia (a condition affecting coordination and balance) by a doctor or brain scan.
- Your medications have not changed in the last 4 weeks.
- You are able to understand and follow study directions.
- You do not have a history of seizures.
- You do not have metal implants in your head or a pacemaker.
- You are not pregnant.

This trial tests if a gentle electrical current applied to the scalp can help people with a specific type of multiple system atrophy (the cerebellar variant) improve walking and other symptoms. The goal is to see if this non-invasive treatment is safe and effective.
This trial tests a new, noninvasive treatment that combines magnetic and electrical stimulation to target a specific brain network in people with mild Alzheimer's disease. It aims to slow memory decline and improve brain function.
This study tests whether a non-invasive brain stimulation treatment (called cerebellar transcranial magnetic stimulation) can help improve balance and coordination in people with spinocerebellar ataxia. It may offer a new way to ease symptoms without surgery.
This study tests whether a non-invasive brain stimulation technique, called repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS), can help improve movement and coordination in children with cerebellar ataxia. The treatment is combined with motor training to see if it can enhance the brain's ability to control movement.
This trial tests a noninvasive brain stimulation method (tACS) to see if it can improve thinking, memory, and social abilities in people with cerebellar conditions. It may help if you have a cerebellar malformation or degenerative atrophy and are between 12 and 32 years old.
This trial tests whether stimulating a part of the brain called the cerebellum with a device can help improve balance and coordination in people with primary ataxia (a movement disorder you were born with or inherited). It aims to see if this treatment is safe and effective over one year.
