NCT ID NCT06958289

First seen Apr 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 08, 2026 · Updated 16 times

Summary

This study tests a procedure called cryoneurolysis, which uses a needle to freeze and break down a nerve that causes muscle tightness (spasticity) after a stroke. The goal is to see if this treatment can provide long-term relief and how it affects brain function over six months. Researchers will study 25 stroke survivors using brain scans and magnetic stimulation to understand the changes. The treatment is already approved in Canada for this use.
