NCT ID NCT07303582

First seen Jan 11, 2026 · Last updated May 16, 2026 · Updated 21 times

Summary

This study tests a treatment called cryoneurolysis, which uses controlled freezing to calm overactive nerves that cause pain and stiffness in people with brain or spinal cord conditions like stroke, multiple sclerosis, or injury. About 50 adults will be randomly assigned to get either cryoneurolysis or the standard Botox injections. Researchers will track pain, movement, and daily function for up to 24 weeks to see if the freezing approach works better and lasts longer.
