U.S., Dec. 18 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07288437) titled 'Deep Brain Stimulation for Spinocerebellar Ataxia' on Dec. 04.
Brief Summary: The goal of this clinical trial is to test the safety of placing Deep Brain Stimulators (DBS) in the cerebellum and using electrical stimulation of that part of the brain to treat symptoms related to the participants spinocerebellar ataxia. Five adults diagnosed with spinocerebellar ataxia type 6 (SCA6) with inadequate cerebellar symptom relief will be implanted with a Medtronic Percept Primary Cell Neurostimulator. The device will be implanted into the dentate nucleus, which is a structure located within the cerebellum that is responsible for controlling ...
