Summary

This study tests a treatment that uses precise radiation beams to target nerves in the back, aiming to reduce muscle tightness (spasticity) caused by stroke, spinal cord injury, or cerebral palsy. About 22 people will be randomly assigned to receive either the real treatment or a fake (sham) procedure to ensure fair results. Researchers will measure changes in muscle stiffness and quality of life over six months, and those who received the sham can get the real treatment afterward.
