NCT ID NCT07166432

First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study is testing a new, minimally invasive brain stimulation technique for people with cerebellar cognitive affective syndrome (CCAS), a condition that causes problems with thinking, mood, and movement. The researchers are enrolling 200 participants with Cushing's syndrome-related cerebellar atrophy. They aim to see if the stimulation improves symptoms and to understand how it works at a molecular level.

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

minimally-invasive bidirectional epidural cerebellar stimulation

What this could lead to

If successful, this could point toward a new treatment for cognitive and movement problems caused by cerebellar atrophy.

What could go wrong

This is an early-stage study focused on understanding how the technique works. It is small and may not lead to a proven treatment. Risks of the procedure are still being evaluated.
