Summary

This study tests whether a gentle, non-invasive brain stimulation technique called tDCS can safely improve movement and balance in people with a rare neurological condition called Multiple System Atrophy (cerebellar type). About 30 participants will receive either real or fake (sham) stimulation, and their walking and coordination will be measured using sensors and clinical scales. The goal is to see if this simple approach can ease symptoms and improve quality of life.
