The Therapeutic Potential of Non-Invasive and Invasive Cerebellar Stimulation Techniques in Hereditary Ataxias

Alberto Benussi et al.

Summary: This paper comprehensively reviews the clinical and neurophysiological effects of transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS), repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS), and dentate nucleus deep brain stimulation (DBS) in patients with hereditary ataxias, as well as the underlying mechanisms at the cellular and network level and future research perspectives.

Quantitative Characterization of Gait Patterns in Individuals with Spinocerebellar Ataxia 38

Massimiliano Pau et al.

Summary: This study compared gait parameters of individuals with SCA 38 using computerized 3D gait analysis. The results showed that SCA 38 patients had significantly reduced speed, stride length, and duration of the swing phase, as well as increased step width and stance and double support phase durations compared to unaffected individuals. Analysis of joint kinematics revealed significant alterations during most part of the stance phase for hip joint and at pre-swing/swing phases for knee and ankle joints. A significantly reduced dynamic range of motion was also found in the knee and ankle joints of SCA 38 patients. These findings provide new insights into hip and knee kinematics for SCA 38 and may guide disease monitoring and rehabilitative interventions.

Changes in Corticospinal Excitability and Motor Control During Cerebellar Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation in Healthy Individuals

Keita Takano et al.

Summary: This study investigated changes in corticospinal excitability and motor control during ctDCS in healthy individuals. The results showed that MEP amplitudes were decreased and pinch force control was impaired during anodal ctDCS. These findings contribute to a basic understanding of the clinical application of ctDCS to neurorehabilitation.

Therapeutic Use of Cerebellar Intermittent Theta Burst Stimulation (iTBS) in a Sardinian Family Affected by Spinocerebellar Ataxia 38 (SCA 38)

Angela Sanna et al.

Summary: SCA 38 is a cerebellar movement disorder caused by mutations in the ELOVL5 gene, and in a study, cerebellar iTBS treatment was shown to improve clinical symptoms of SCA 38 patients, potentially influenced by the BDNF gene polymorphism.

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.

Frequency-dependent modulation of cerebellar excitability during the application of non-invasive alternating current stimulation

Danny Spampinato et al.

Summary: Cerebellar transcranial alternating current stimulation (tACS) can specifically enhance cerebellar motor cortex (M1) inhibition, particularly during the application of 5Hz tACS. The effects of 5Hz tACS appear to be site-specific and do not induce long-lasting effects.

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.
