简要总结
Spinocerebellar ataxia (SCA) is a type of autosomal dominant ataxia and there is currently no effective treatment. The goal of this clinical trial is to learn the efficacy of navigated iTBS (Intermittent theta-burst stimulation) targeting the cerebellum to treat hereditary spinocerebellar ataxias in adults and explore the role and neural plasticity mechanisms. It will also learn about the safety of cerebellar transcranial magnetic stimulation. The main questions it aims to answer are:
- Does navigated iTBS targeting the cerebellum improve the symptoms and clinical scale score of ataxias?
- Safety evaluation measures included treatment-related dizziness, head and neck pain, tinnitus, hearing loss, and epilepsy. Adverse reactions were reported by both subjects and investigators.
Participants will:
- Navigated iTBS targeting the cerebellum or sham stimulation every day for 7 day,
- Assessments were made at baseline, within 24 hours after the end of treatment, after 12 weeks, and after 24 weeks of telephone follow-up.
详细描述
- Gait analysis, electroencephalogram (EEG), functional magnetic resonance (fMRI) and a series of clinic scales were used to further observe the therapeutic effect and reveal the possible mechanism of neuroplasticity.
- Forty-two iTBS sessions(1,800 pulses per session, 50-minute intersession interval) were delivered as 6 daily sessions over 7 consecutive days at 80% resting motor threshold (adjusted for cortical depth).

结局指标
主要结局
The change from baseline score on ICARS(International Cooperative Ataxia Rating Scale)
时间窗: at baseline, within 24 hours after the end of treatment, after 12 weeks, and within 24 hours after the end of the second round of treatment
International Cooperative Ataxia Rating Scale contains four subscales on a scale of 0 to 100, with higher scores indicating more severe ataxia
次要结局
- The change from baseline score on SARA(Scale for the Assessment and Rating of Ataxia)(at baseline, within 24 hours after the end of treatment, after 12 weeks, and within 24 hours after the end of the second round of treatment)
- Gait analysis(at baseline, within 24 hours after the end of treatment, after 12 weeks, and within 24 hours after the end of the second round of treatment)
- scalp electroencephalogram(at baseline, within 24 hours after the end of treatment, after 12 weeks, and within 24 hours after the end of the second round of treatment)
- Safety evaluation measures(within 24 hours after the end of treatment)
