Naeije, G., Rovai, A., Destrebecq, V., Trotta, N. and De Tiège, X. (2023), Anodal Cerebellar Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation Reduces Motor and Cognitive Symptoms in Friedreich's Ataxia: A Randomized, Sham-Controlled Trial. Mov Disord. doi:10.1002/mds.29453 

 One week of treatment with anodal ctDCS reduces motor and cognitive symptoms in individuals with FRDA, likely by restoring the neocortical inhibition normally exerted by cerebellar structures. This study provides class I evidence that ctDCS stimulation is effective and safe in FRDA
