Transcranial alternating current stimulation for treating spinocerebellar ataxia type 3: A randomized controlled trial.
There are no specific treatments for spinocerebellar ataxia type 3 (SCA3), a neurodegenerative disease causing cerebellar dysfunction. Transcranial alternating current stimulation (tACS) can improve cerebellar motor functions, and it has been shown to be safe and effective in treating neurological diseases. This randomized controlled trial (RCT) explored the effects of tACS on SCA3 patients. Participants received either 40-min, 70 Hz, 2 mA tACS or sham stimulation daily for 2 weeks. The primary outcome was met by 80% of the active-tACS group (32/40) and 10% of the sham group (4/40). The active group also showed significantly greater reductions in the Scale for Assessment and Rating of Ataxia (SARA) scores. No serious adverse events occurred, indicating high safety. Therefore, tACS is effective, safe, and feasible for treating SCA3. The study is registered at ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT05557786).

期刊介绍:
Cell Reports Medicine is an esteemed open-access journal by Cell Press that publishes groundbreaking research in translational and clinical biomedical sciences, influencing human health and medicine.
Our journal ensures wide visibility and accessibility, reaching scientists and clinicians across various medical disciplines. We publish original research that spans from intriguing human biology concepts to all aspects of clinical work. We encourage submissions that introduce innovative ideas, forging new paths in clinical research and practice. We also welcome studies that provide vital information, enhancing our understanding of current standards of care in diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis. This encompasses translational studies, clinical trials (including long-term follow-ups), genomics, biomarker discovery, and technological advancements that contribute to diagnostics, treatment, and healthcare. Additionally, studies based on vertebrate model organisms are within the scope of the journal, as long as they directly relate to human health and disease.
