INTRODUCTION: Spinocerebellar ataxia type 3 (SCA3) is the most common subtype of hereditary ataxia. Few studies reported the CMCT features in SCA3, but with inconsistent findings. So far, CMCT in SCA3 remains largely unknown.
METHODS: This study included 86 SCA3 patients and 80 healthy controls. Motor-evoked potentials were recorded bilaterally from upper and lower limbs muscles by TMS using a double-cone coil attached to CCY-IA magnetic stimulator. CMCT was determined using F wave and paravertebral magnetic stimulation (PMS). The statistical analyses were performed using R software.
RESULTS: In our study, 36.5% of SCA3 patients had a slight prolongation of CMCT in lower limbs, but not upper limbs, uncorrelated with disease severity. Moreover, SCA3 patients with Babinski signs did not necessarily have abnormal CMCT, and vice versa. Our study demonstrated that PMS is a reliable method as F wave for detecting CMCT in SCA3. Additionally, CMCT to lower limbs was positively correlated with height, but not with age, sex, or weight in healthy controls.
CONCLUSIONS: A small proportion of SCA3 patients had a slight prolongation of CMCT in lower limbs, but not upper limbs, uncorrelated with disease severity. Furthermore, CMCT measures were observed irrespective of pyramidal sign in SCA3; however, patients with abnormal CMCT had a higher incidence of the pyramidal sign.
