Resumo
Introduction: Cerebellar ataxia remains a neurological symptom orphan of treatment interventions, despite being prevalent and incapacitating. We aimed to study, in a double-blind design, whether cerebellar modulation could improve ataxia. Methods: We included patients with diagnosis of spinocerebellar ataxia type 3, multiple systems atrophy cerebellar type, or post-lesion ataxia. Patients received five sessions each of sham and active cerebellar 1 Hz deep repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation in randomized order. Our primary outcome was the decrease in the Scale for the Assessment and Rating of Ataxia when comparing phases (active x sham). Secondary outcomes measures included the International Cooperative Ataxia Rating Scale, and other motor, cognitive, and quality of life scales. This study was registered at clinicaltrials.gov (protocol NCT03213106). Results: Twenty-four patients aged 29-74 years were included in our trial. After active stimulation, the Scale for the Assessment and Rating of Ataxia score was significantly lower than the score after sham stimulation [median (interquartile range) of 10.2 (6.2, 16.2) versus 12.8 (9.6, 17.8); p = 0.002]. The International Cooperative Ataxia Rating Scale score also improved after active stimulation versus sham [median (interquartile range) of 29.0 (21.0, 43.5) versus 32.8 (22.0, 47.0); p = 0.005]. Other secondary outcomes were not significantly modified by stimulation. No patient presented severe side effects, and nine presented mild and self-limited symptoms. Conclusions: Our protocol was safe and well-tolerated. These findings suggest that cerebellar modulation may improve ataxic symptom and provide reassurance about safety for clinical practice.
