NCT ID NCT06311526
First seen Nov 18, 2025 · Last updated May 16, 2026 · Updated 20 times
Summary
This study looked at how shock wave therapy helps reduce arm stiffness (spasticity) in people who had a stroke. Twelve adults with stroke-related arm tightness received the treatment. Researchers wanted to find out if the therapy works by changing the muscle's physical properties or by calming overactive nerve signals. The goal is to better match this treatment to the right patients in the future.
