What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now This study
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing

Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.

Summary

This study tests a treatment that uses precise radiation beams to target nerves in the back, aiming to reduce muscle tightness (spasticity) caused by stroke, spinal cord injury, or cerebral palsy. About 22 people will be randomly assigned to receive either the real treatment or a fake (sham) procedure to ensure fair results. Researchers will measure changes in muscle stiffness and quality of life over six months, and those who received the sham can get the real treatment afterward.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: * Chronic spasticity refractory to medical management or in a patient who cannot receive appropriate medical management mediated by one or more spinal nerve roots * Age \> 16 (if under 18, patients parents must sign consent).
