NCT ID NCT06017960
First seen Dec 09, 2025 · Last updated Jun 18, 2026 · Updated 24 times
Summary
This study tests whether dry needling (inserting thin needles into tight muscles) can reduce spasticity—stiffness that makes movement hard—in people who have had a stroke. About 28 adults who can walk independently will receive either real or sham (fake) needling once a week for four weeks. Researchers will measure muscle activity, stiffness, and walking ability to see if the treatment helps.
