Filter by: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.
A drug called AV650 (tolperisone HCl) will be given to patients who have spasticity associated with multiple sclerosis. This study has three purposes: 1. To determine whether AV650 is safe for patients with multiple sclerosis; 2. To gather some early evidence as to whether AV650 is effective in treating spasticity in patients with multiple sclerosis; and, 3. To assess what the body does with AV650 once it is ingested (Germany and Czech Republic sites only).
A drug called AV650 (tolperisone HCl) will be given to patients who have spasticity following a spinal cord injury. This study has three purposes: 1. To determine whether AV650 is safe for patients with spinal cord injury; 2. To assess what the body does with AV650 once it is ingested; and, 3. To gather some early evidence as to whether AV650 is effective in treating spasticity in patients with spinal cord injury.
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.
This study will investigate the efficacy and safety of incobotulinumtoxinA (Xeomin) in the treatment of arm tightness (upper limb spasticity) using two different dilutions of incobotulinumtoxinA (Xeomin).
Open label, one year extension study to evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of 12 mg sublingual tizanidine administered once nightly in MS patients who successfully completed Phase I/II protocol C2/5/TZ:MS-05 at the Tel Aviv Sourasky Medical Center, Department of Neurology, Dr. Arnon Karni, PI.
FES is a form of treatment with a device to aid movement in people who have had damage to their brain or spinal cord. Small electrical impulses are used to excite/stimulate the nerves that supply paralyzed muscles. This activates those muscles, enabling them to produce basic but useful movement. Self-adhesive patches (electrodes) are placed on the skin close to the nerve that supplies the muscle and are connected by wires to a stimulator that produces the impulses. In this way, FES is used to correct the muscle weakness that is caused by injury to the brain or spinal cord. Repetitive task practice is an "activity-based" therapy program that has been shown to enhance the recovery of hand and arm functions after stroke. This therapy consists of a set of training activities that are designed by a qualified therapist specific to your functional abilities that are to be performed with the impaired hand. These activities are designed to stimulate functional improvement with repetitive practice. Spasticity is a nervous system disorder where certain muscles are continuously contracted. Botox injections are commonly used to help to reduce spasticity in areas of the body with increased muscle tone. This research is designed to look at any additional benefit that may occur when Botox injections are combined with specific occupational therapy exercises and with a device that uses functional electrical stimulation (FES) to help improve muscle function after stroke.
This is a study to confirm the superior efficacy of GSK1358820 over placebo in patients with equinus deformity associated with post-stroke lower limb spasticity using the Modified Ashworth Scale (MAS) ankle score.
This is a study to confirm the superior efficacy of a single treatment of GSK1358820 over placebo in patients with post-stroke upper limb spasticity of both the wrist and finger flexors using the Modified Ashworth Scale (MAS) wrist score.
