Effects of Cerebellar Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation in Patients with Stroke: a Systematic Review

Li Hong-yu et al.

Summary: Cerebellar transcranial direct current stimulation (ctDCS) shows promise in improving poststroke language and motor dysfunction, especially in gait. However, the current evidence is insufficient and the quality of studies is low, indicating the need for more regulated studies with larger sample sizes to validate its therapeutic effect.

Roberto Rodriguez-Labrada et al.

Summary: The study evaluated the utility of the CCAS-S in a cohort of SCA2 patients in Cuba, finding high sensitivity but low specificity in detecting cognitive impairments. The performance of CCAS-S was influenced by ataxia severity and education level, and the scores correlated with MoCA scores.

The cognitive profile of Friedreich ataxia: a systematic review and meta-analysis

Gilles Naeije et al.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the cognitive profile of individuals with Friedreich ataxia (FRDA) and examine the correlations between clinical, genetic, and imaging characteristics and neuropsychological impairments. The meta-analysis of 18 studies revealed that individuals with FRDA demonstrated significantly lower performance in multiple cognitive domains compared to control participants. The study also identified significant associations between neuropsychological test results and disease severity, as well as links between reduced cognitive performance and changes in cerebellar structure.

Cerebellar Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation in Spinocerebellar Ataxia Type 3: a Randomized, Double-Blind, Sham-Controlled Trial

Roderick P. P. W. M. Maas et al.

Summary: The study found that a two-week daily cerebellar tDCS treatment did not have a significant effect on the severity and cerebellar-M1 connectivity of spinocerebellar ataxia type 3 (SCA3) patients. While some patients showed sustained symptom reduction, overall treatment effects varied between individuals.

Neuroprotection and Non-Invasive Brain Stimulation: Facts or Fiction?

Matteo Guidetti et al.

Summary: Non-invasive brain stimulation techniques have shown potential in improving symptoms of neurodegenerative diseases, particularly cognitive and motor impairments in Alzheimer's Disease and Parkinson's Disease. However, their effect on disease progression is still unclear, although recent evidence suggests a possible neuroprotective role.

Assessment of Ataxia Rating Scales and Cerebellar Functional Tests: Critique and Recommendations

Santiago Perez-Lloret et al.

Summary: This study evaluated the clinimetric properties of various ataxia rating scales and functional tests, identifying recommended scales and tests for patients with major hereditary ataxias and other cerebellar disorders. However, the main limitations of these instruments include limited assessment of patients on the severe end of the spectrum and children. Further research is needed in these populations.

Differential Behavioral and Neural Effects of Regional Cerebellar tDCS

Laura C. Rice et al.

Summary: The human cerebellum contributes to both motor and non-motor processes, with different subregions supporting sensorimotor and broader cognitive functions. Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) targeting different cerebellar regions had differential effects on language task performance and whole-brain functional activation patterns, with tDCS on the right posterolateral cerebellum improving task accuracy and increasing activation in task-relevant brain regions. In contrast, tDCS targeting the sensorimotor cerebellum did not impact task performance significantly.

The cerebellar clock: Predicting and timing somatosensory touch

Lau M. Andersen et al.

Summary: The cerebellum is involved in precisely predicting the timing of sensory feedback and rhythmic stimuli, possibly in coordination with the putamen and thalamus. It shows higher power in response to perfectly predictable stimuli, suggesting a role in detecting deviations from rhythmic patterns.

Motor and cognitive outcomes of cerebello-spinal stimulation in neurodegenerative ataxia

Alberto Benussi et al.

Summary: The study demonstrated that treatment with cerebello-spinal tDCS significantly improved motor and cognitive symptoms in patients with neurodegenerative ataxia both in the short and long-term. The improvement was observed in motor scores, cognition, quality-of-life scores, motor cortex excitability, and cerebellar inhibition after real tDCS compared to sham stimulation and baseline. An addon-effect was also observed after two repeated treatments with real tDCS.
