rTMS Improves Functions in Spinocerebellar Ataxia

Status Recruiting

Clinical Trial Summary

Spinocerebellar ataxia (SCA) is a group of inherited brain disorders. SCA often result in poor limb coordination. This study aims to discover the effects of repeated transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) on balance & gait in SCA. The hypothesis of this study is that rTMS might improve SCA limb functional performance.

Clinical Trial Description

rTMS has been shown that improves walking speed and balance performance, however, the optimal treatment protocols have not been approved. Past studies used different frequencies 1 Hz, 5 Hz and 10 Hz to improve functional performance. The results might be affected by the types of SCA. In this study, we will focus on the SCA type 3 to assess the effects on high frequency (10 Hz) of rTMS intervention. ;
