SPASTICITY

This study looks at how Botox (OnabotulinumtoxinA) is used in real-world clinical practice to treat muscle stiffness in children aged 2-17 with cerebral palsy. Researchers will track dosing, injection techniques, and pain management methods over 12 months. The goal is to understa…

This trial tests whether a wearable suit called EXOPULSE Mollii, which sends gentle electrical pulses to muscles, can help children with cerebral palsy. The study focuses on kids aged 5 to 12 who have spasticity and some walking ability. Researchers will measure changes in balanc…

This study looks at whether applying targeted heat (thermal radiofrequency) to a specific nerve in the arm can safely reduce severe elbow stiffness in adults who developed spasticity after a brain or spinal cord injury. Researchers will measure changes in elbow movement, muscle t…

This study tested low-level laser therapy (LLLT) on 18 chronic stroke patients with ankle stiffness. Half got laser plus physiotherapy, half got physiotherapy alone for three weeks. Both groups improved, but the laser group had greater reductions in muscle tightness and better wa…

This study tested two types of wrist splints—static (non-moving) and dynamic (allowing some movement)—in 20 people who had a stroke and developed wrist stiffness. The goal was to see which splint better reduces muscle tightness and improves hand function. Participants wore the as…

This study tested whether applying kinesiology tape (a stretchy, elastic tape) to the trunk and limbs could improve balance and motor function in 30 children with cerebral palsy. The children wore the tape for four weeks and were assessed before and after. The goal was to see if …

This study looked at 40 children with cerebral palsy, ages 4 to 8, to see if anxiety is linked to worse balance, muscle stiffness, and movement. Researchers measured anxiety, spasticity, balance, and gross motor function. The goal was to understand these connections better, not t…
