Shining light on ataxia: can a helmet improve balance and thinking?

NCT ID NCT07296068

Summary

This small pilot study is testing whether a single session of light therapy applied to the scalp can temporarily improve balance and cognitive problems in people with ataxia. Researchers will compare the effects of real light therapy to a placebo (fake) treatment in 20 participants. The goal is to see if this non-invasive approach is safe and feasible to study further for managing ataxia symptoms.
