New combo therapy aims to ease stroke survivors' muscle tightness and pain
NCT ID NCT07482618
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether adding tolperison to botulinum toxin injections helps reduce muscle stiffness and nerve pain in stroke survivors. About 40 adults with spastic hemiplegia (one-sided paralysis) will be followed. Researchers will measure spasticity and walking speed to see if the combination works better than botox alone.
