Arm shot may boost walking after stroke
NCT ID NCT04908423
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether injecting Xeomin® into the upper arm can improve walking and quality of life in adults who have weakness on one side after a stroke. Twenty participants will be measured before and 4-6 weeks after the injection using walking tests and a sensor. The goal is to see if treating arm spasticity has a ripple effect on mobility.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
Xeomin® (incobotulinumtoxinA, a botulinum toxin type A)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could point toward a way to improve walking and daily function for stroke survivors with arm spasticity.
What could go wrong
This is a small pilot study with only 20 people, so results may not apply widely. The injection is in the arm, so any walking benefit is indirect and uncertain.
