Summary
This early study tests whether deep brain stimulation (DBS) in the cerebellum can safely improve walking and coordination in 12 adults with ataxia that hasn't responded to other treatments. DBS uses a surgically implanted device to send electrical pulses to specific brain areas. The main goal is to check safety, but researchers will also measure changes in movement over one year.
