Summary
This study tests whether deep brain stimulation (DBS) in the cerebellum can safely improve walking and coordination in people with ataxia that hasn't responded to other treatments. Twelve adults aged 20 to 70 with primary ataxia will receive DBS implants, and researchers will monitor side effects and measure changes in movement over one year. The goal is to see if this approach is safe and worth testing in larger studies.
