First seen Oct 31, 2025 · Last updated May 06, 2026 · Updated 32 times

Summary

This study tests if a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) can improve movement and balance in children with cerebellar ataxia, a condition that affects coordination. The trial will include 20 children aged 4 to 18 who have been diagnosed with cerebellar ataxia. Participants will receive rTMS combined with motor training to see if it reduces symptoms like unsteady walking and shaky hand movements.
