New Botox-Like shot could loosen stiff arms in stroke survivors
NCT ID NCT07242300
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Aug 06, 2026 · Updated 3 times
Summary
This Phase 3 trial tests a new botulinum toxin injection called Eveotox in 207 adults with upper limb spasticity (stiff muscles) after a stroke. The goal is to see if it reduces muscle tightness and improves daily tasks like dressing or hygiene compared to a placebo. Participants receive one injection and are followed for safety and effectiveness over several weeks.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Recombinant botulinum toxin type A (Eveotox)
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could provide a new treatment option to reduce muscle tightness and improve daily activities like dressing or hygiene for people with post-stroke spasticity.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early Phase 3 trial with only 207 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The treatment is temporary and may cause side effects like muscle weakness or injection site reactions.
