Implanted device aims to ease debilitating muscle stiffness after stroke

NCT ID NCT06384170

Summary

This study aimed to test a spinal cord stimulator (an implanted device) to reduce chronic muscle stiffness (spasticity) and pain in people who have had a stroke. The device was designed to send electrical signals to the spinal cord to calm overactive nerves and muscles. The goal was to see if this approach could provide better, longer-lasting relief than current treatments like medication injections. The trial was withdrawn before any participants were enrolled.
