Abstract

There are insufficient treatment options available for recovery related to cerebellar ataxia. Limited data using repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) have demonstrated reduction of symptom burden, though associated with nonuniform cerebellar ataxia etiologies and differing rTMS treatment protocols. Additionally, there are limited available data for use of rTMS in individuals suffering from stroke-related symptoms. We present the case of a patient with chronic cerebellar ataxia following a hemorrhagic stroke who underwent inhibitory rTMS to bilateral cerebellar targets with demonstrated improvement in symptoms.
