NCT ID NCT07288437
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This early study tests whether a deep brain stimulator placed in the cerebellum can safely improve movement and balance in 5 adults with spinocerebellar ataxia type 6. The device automatically adjusts its stimulation based on the person's brain signals. The goal is to see if this approach is feasible and tolerable, not to cure the disease.
