NCT ID NCT06958289
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
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.
