Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) improved cerebellar function in spinocerebellar ataxia (SCA) patients, enhancing postural control. This safe and feasible intervention shows promise for managing SCA symptoms.
Area of Science:
- Neuroscience
- Neurology
- Rehabilitation Medicine
Background:
- Spinocerebellar ataxia (SCA) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder affecting cerebellar function.
- Current treatments for SCA offer limited symptomatic relief, highlighting the need for novel therapeutic strategies.
- Cerebellar dysfunction in SCA impacts motor control, including posture and gait.
