Feasibility of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation on non-motor symptoms of spinocerebellar ataxia type 3: a secondary analysis of a randomized clinical trial
Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation is a feasible treatment of non-motor related symptoms in patients with SCA3, including sleep, cognition, and mood disorders. The treatment is well-tolerated, and its feasibility appears independent of demographic or disease severity indicators. These findings encourage further exploration of rTMS as a safe alternative for managing SCA3 NMS.
