Who this trial is looking for
This trial is looking for people with ataxia, a condition that affects balance and coordination. Participants will receive a new type of brain stimulation treatment to see if it helps improve their balance.
Are You a Good Fit for This Trial?
You may be able to join if
I have been diagnosed with ataxia
I have been on the same medication for at least four weeks
I can understand and follow study instructions
You may not be able to join if
I have a history of seizures
I have severe health problems or other diseases
I have metal implants in my brain
I have a cardiac pacemaker
I am pregnant

Ataxia refers to a group of neurological disorders characterized by impaired coordination and balance due to dysfunction in the cerebellum or its connections. Traditional therapeutic approaches for ataxia have shown limited efficacy, prompting researchers to explore alternative interventions.

Ataxia refers to a group of neurological disorders characterized by impaired coordination and balance due to dysfunction in the cerebellum or its connections. Traditional therapeutic approaches for ataxia have shown limited efficacy, prompting researchers to explore alternative interventions. Non-invasive brain stimulation (NIBS) techniques, such as transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS), transcranial alternating current stimulation (tACS), and intermittent theta burst stimulation (iTBS), have emerged as potential therapeutic options. The aim of this study is to investigate the combined effect of tACS-iTBS on balance functions in ataxia disorders.
