Brain Stimulation With Therapy for Cerebellar Disorders
Part of Brain & nervous system, Cancer clinical trials.
This study tests a combination of gentle brain stimulation paired with specialized exercises designed to help people with cerebellar conditions—disorders affecting balance, coordination, and movement. The goal is to see if pairing these two approaches together works better than either alone.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You have a cerebellar condition (such as stroke damage, tumor, genetic degeneration, or underdeveloped cerebellum)
- You are able to safely participate in exercise training without medical limitations
- You do not have a heart pacemaker or other metal implants that would prevent MRI scanning
- You do not have a history of seizures or severe mental health conditions like schizophrenia
- You are not currently taking tricyclic antidepressants or neuroleptic medications

This trial tests if a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) can help children with cerebellar ataxia (a condition that affects balance and coordination). If it works, it might improve their motor skills and daily functioning.
This study uses repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS)—a non-invasive technique that sends magnetic pulses to specific areas of the brain—to examine how it affects coordination and brain function. Researchers want to understand if stimulating two different regions of the cerebellum (the part of your brain that controls balance and coordination) produces different effects.
This study tests whether a non-invasive brain stimulation technique applied to the back of your brain (cerebellum) can help improve movement and balance in people with mild to moderate Parkinson's disease. The treatment uses a small electrical current to stimulate brain activity.
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.
This pilot study tests whether stimulating the cerebellum (a part of the brain) using TMS can improve brain function and thinking in people with schizophrenia. If you qualify, you may receive TMS and undergo brain/cognitive assessments to see whether it helps.
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.
