Brain stimulation paired with therapy for cerebellar balance and coordination problems

This study is testing whether a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS), when combined with intensive rehabilitation therapy, can help people with cerebellar damage improve their balance, coordination, hand control, and speech. The cerebelum is the part of the brain that controls these functions, and when it's damaged by stroke, tumor, or disease, people often struggle with movement and coordination. Right now, rehabilitation therapy is the main treatment available, so researchers want to see if adding personalized brain stimulation can make therapy work even better.

Cerebellar damage causes serious problems with balance, walking, coordination, and speech that severely impact daily life, and there are very few medical treatments available. This trial exists to see whether combining brain stimulation with therapy could offer patients a more effective way to recover these lost abilities.
