Summary
This early study tests whether placing a deep brain stimulator in the cerebellum and using it to automatically adjust electrical pulses can safely improve movement and balance in people with spinocerebellar ataxia type 6. Five adults who still have some walking ability will receive the implant. The goal is to see if the approach is feasible and safe, not yet to prove it works.
