Brain zaps could help kids with rare movement disorder walk better
NCT ID NCT07211490
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called rTMS can improve movement and balance in children with cerebellar ataxia, a condition that causes coordination problems. Twenty children aged 4 to 18 will receive either real or sham (fake) rTMS to see if it reduces symptoms like unsteady walking and shaky hands. The goal is to find a safe, drug-free way to help these kids move better and improve their quality of life.
