First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study tests whether whole-body vibration therapy, given after a Botox injection, can reduce muscle tightness and improve balance in stroke survivors. Fifty participants with ankle spasticity will either receive vibration or a placebo for 4 weeks. Researchers will measure changes in muscle activity, balance, and walking ability.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

whole-body vibration therapy

What this could lead to

If it works, this could point toward a simple, drug-free way to improve walking and reduce muscle tightness after a stroke.

What could go wrong

This is a small early-stage trial with only 50 people, so results may not apply to everyone. The vibration is added after standard Botox treatment, so any benefit may be modest.
