NCT ID: NCT01975909 Active, not recruiting - Clinical trials for Spinocerebellar Ataxia

Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation in Spino-Cerebellar Ataxia

TMS
Start date: September 2013
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Spinocerebellar Ataxia (SCA) refers to a family of genetic diseases that cause progressive problems with gait and balance, as well as other debilitating symptoms. This is a randomized controlled pilot study to test a novel therapeutic intervention that uses noninvasive magnetic brain stimulation to improve functional outcomes in patients with SCA. The study will include quantitative evaluations of gait, balance, and brain physiology to examine possible objective end-points for a future, larger multi-site clinical trial. The investigators anticipate that patients receiving the real intervention will show a functional gain.
