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.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 75 years old
- 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 study tests whether brain stimulation can help improve movement and function after damage to the cerebellum (the part of the brain that controls coordination). If you have had a cerebellar stroke or similar condition, this treatment might help you recover better.
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 study looks at whether a non-invasive brain stimulation technique can help improve brain function and thinking skills in people recovering from a stroke. It focuses on a specific brain circuit and may help with cognitive recovery.
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 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 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.
