Filter by:The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety of repeated doses of Botulinum Toxin Type A for the treatment of focal upper limb poststroke spasticity
This study evaluates the responsiveness of 7 functional tasks to botulinum toxin Type A treatment in poststroke patients with spasticity of the upper-limb flexors
Children with cerebral palsy commonly undergo "multilevel surgery", meaning several lower limb combined procedures performed during the same surgical intervention. The aim of this type of surgery is to correct all deformities together in order to restore near to normal anatomy and muscular function. It is very important to be able to obtain good range of motion after surgery, in order to consolidate surgical results. During the first days after the operation, children are sore and it may be difficult to realize adequate physical therapy. In order to palliate this situation, MEOPA gaz is used during REHAB sessions. Good results have been obtained so far but no study is available to demonstrate these results. The goal of our research is to prove that there is a benefit in using MEOPA postoperatively in these patients.
Objectives: To determine whether nabilone, a synthetic cannabinoid, alleviates spasticity in people with spinal cord injury (SCI). Methods: Twelve subjects were enrolled in this double-blind, placebo-controlled, crossover study. They received either nabilone or placebo during the first four-week period (0.5mg OD with option to increase to 0.5mg BID), then outcome measures were assessed. After a two-week washout, subjects were crossed-over to the opposite arm. The primary outcome was the Ashworth scale for spasticity in the most involved muscle group, chosen by the subject and clinician. The secondary outcomes included Spasm Frequency Scale, Visual Analog Scale, Wartenberg Pendulum Test, sum of the Ashworth Scale in eight muscle groups of each side of the body, and the Clinician's and Subject's Global Impression of Change .
Oral baclofen is used commonly to treat spasticity in children with cerebral palsy. Although for adults there is dosing,safety and efficacy information in the package insert, this is not the case for children. The purpose of this study is to determine how fast the drug is cleared from the body, the correct dose, and long-term safety and efficacy for children with spasticity.
The purpose of this study is to determine the safe and effective levels of optical stimulation in peripheral nerves of humans otherwise undergoing nerve lesioning in surgery.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate efficacy and safety of treatment with XP19986 Sustained Release (SR) Tablet compared to placebo in subjects with spasticity due to spinal cord injury
This is a study to investigate if patients who have had a stroke and suffer from spasticity might benefit from being given BOTOX® in addition to the normal Standard Care. Spasticity is characterized by stiffness or frequent cramps accompanied by pain and abnormal movements and can prevent the carrying out of everyday tasks such as walking and getting dressed. BOTOX® is a neurotoxin, which is used to prevent the contraction of muscle fibre and has been shown to reduce spasticity significantly. Patients will be enrolled in this study at about 33 locations in Europe and Canada. Study participation will last for about 1 year.
The MOBILITY Project is a prospective, non-randomized, observational, multi-centre evaluation of Health Utility via the SF-12® Health Survey Scores and the SF-6D in patients receiving BOTOX® for therapeutic use.
The purpose of this study is to determine the effects, both good and bad, of IPX056 on subjects and their spasticity. This study will also determine the relationship between the amount of IPX056 in blood and the effects on spasticity. Lastly, this study will determine how long IPX056 affects spasticity.
