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.
