First seen Apr 24, 2026 · Last updated May 01, 2026 · Updated 2 times

Summary

This study tests a procedure called cryoneurolysis, which uses a needle to freeze and break down a nerve that causes muscle stiffness (spasticity) after a stroke. The goal is to see if this can provide long-term relief and improve daily activities. Researchers will study 25 stroke survivors over six months, using brain scans and magnetic stimulation to understand how the treatment affects the brain.
