Brain zaps and rehab: new hope for balance in rare ataxia?
NCT ID NCT06974149
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether a gentle brain stimulation technique (tDCS) combined with a special exercise program can reduce symptoms of spinocerebellar ataxia, a disease that affects coordination and balance. Fifteen adults who can walk (with or without help) will receive either real or fake stimulation during rehab. The goal is to see if the real stimulation leads to better balance and less severe ataxia.
