U.S., Dec. 23 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07296068) titled 'Can Acute Photobiomodulation Improve Balance and Cognition in Individuals With Ataxia: a Pilot Feasibility Placebo Randomized Controlled Trial.' on Dec. 08.

Brief Summary: Cerebellar ataxias cause progressive impairments in balance, gait coordination, motor timing, and cognitive functions such as attention and executive control (Buckner, 2013; Salmi et al., 2010; Timmann & Daum, 2007). These symptoms substantially reduce independence and quality of life, and current treatments remain limited. There is an urgent need for safe, low-burden interventions that can support everyday functioning and potentially enhance compensatory neural p...
