Filter by:Cerebral Palsy is the most common cause of severe physical disability in childhood and may present difficulties and limitations that will have an impact on their independence and integration in all social areas. Within interventions aiming to manage CP Whole-Body Vibration (WBV) has shown some benefits such as reducing spasticity or improving strength and functionality of the lower limbs. The aim of this study is to assess the effectiveness on motor function and spasticity of the lower limbs by adding an intervention with WBV to an evidence-based multimodal physiotherapy treatment in children with CP.
This will be a first-in-human Phase I, open-label, single dose clinical study of MELPIDA administered intrathecally (IT) through a lumbar puncture (LP) to a single subject with confirmed pathogenic mutations in the Adaptor Related Protein Complex 4 Subunit Mu 1 (AP4M1) gene. The primary outcome will be the determination of the safety and tolerability of MELPIDA in patients with SPG50, based on development of toxicity. The secondary outcome will be a preliminary exploration of efficacy of the treatment. MELPIDA, is a recombinant serotype 9 adeno-associated virus (AAV) encoding a codon-optimized human AP4M1 transgene and will be administer to the patient via a single intrathecal infusion of 10 mL at 1E14 vg/mL for a total dose of 1E15 vg. The total study duration is 5 years post dosing and the participant will be tested at screening/baseline (-28 to -7 days), return for dosing, and then follow-up visits post-dosing on Days 7 (+/-2), 30 (+/-2), 60 (+/-2), 90 (+/-14), 180 (+/-14), 270 (+/-14), 360 (+/-14), 540 (+/-14), and 720 (+/-14) days, then annually for the last 3 years.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the limb functional improvement after contralateral C7 root transfer in stroke patients.
Spasticity is often observed as muscle tightness and stiffness in the upper and/or lower limbs. Upper limb spasticity can interfere with joint movement and its severity can range from mild to severe. Common causes of spasticity include cerebral palsy, traumatic brain injury, multiple sclerosis, spinal cord injury, and stroke. This study will assess how safe and effective ABBV-950 is in treating upper limb spasticity in adult post-stroke participants. Adverse events and change in symptoms will be assessed. ABBV-950 in an investigational drug being developed for treating spasticity. This study is conducted in 2 parts. In Part 1, participants are assigned to receive different doses of ABBV-950 or placebo. There is 1 in 4 chance that participants will be assigned to receive placebo. In Part 2, participants will be randomly assigned to receive BOTOX, ABBV-950, or placebo. There is 1 in 5 chance for participants to receive placebo. Approximately 297 adult post-stroke participants with upper limb spasticity will be enrolled at approximately 50 sites in the United States. In Part 1, participants will receive intramuscular (IM) injections of ABBV-950 or placebo on Day 1. In Part 2, participants will receive IM injections of BOTOX, ABBV-950, or placebo on Day 1. All participants will be followed for 24 weeks. There may be higher treatment burden for participants in this trial compared to the standard of care. Participants will attend regular clinic visits during the study. The effect of the treatment will be checked by medical assessments, checking for side effects and completing questionnaires.
The general objective of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of the comprehensive protocol in improving post-stroke upper limb spasticity. The specific objectives were to evaluate pain improvement and changes in quality of life and functional capacity in patients who were subjected to the comprehensive protocol compared with those in the patients who underwent sham interventions.
The patients who were diagnosed with stroke in governmental/university/private hospitals, and who needed rehabilitation because of the increased flexor tone in the elbow joint, decreased range of motion and/or decreased function of the upper extremity will be invited to the study in accordance with the criteria that are given in inclusion and exclusion part. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of two parallel groups, either the PNF Stretching Group (n=17) or the Prolonged Stretching Group (n=17), according to the order of participation in the study by simple randomization. An online computer program will be used to assign participants (https://www.randomizer.org/). Exercises that will increase proximal stabilization and control will be applied to both groups for 4 weeks, 5 days a week. In addition to the exercises, prolonged stretches for 10 minutes will be applied to the Prolonged Stretching Group, and PNF stretching will be applied to the PNF Stretching Group. At the beginning and the end of the study, muscle architecture, muscular viscoelastic properties, range of motion, proprioception, upper extremity motor performance and function and posture will be evaluated.
The study is a 4-week double-blind, randomized, controlled, parallel design investigation to investigate the impact of intermittent negative pressure on spasticity and pain in people with multiple sclerosis (pwMS). The investigational device (FlowOx2.0™) is composed of a Pressure Chamber and a Control Unit (and disposable parts). All subjects will receive the same pressure chamber but be randomized to either a Control Unit that generates intermittent negative pressure (INP) of - (minus) 40 mmHg or a Control Unit that generates INP of - 10 mmHg. FlowOx2.0™ generating -40 mmHg is the investigational device, and FlowOx2.0™ generating -10 mmHg, is the comparator device. After the initial 4-week double-blind period, all participants will be offered the -40mmHg control unit to be used during a 6-months optional extension part.
Individuals with spinal cord injury (SCI) often suffer from pain and spasticity. Traditional treatments for both of these conditions have been medications. However, it has been suggested that the counterstrain osteopathic manual manipulation treatment can decrease pain and possibly spasticity. The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of counterstrain osteopathic manual manipulation treatment on pain and spasticity in individuals with SCI.
The main objective of the study is to investigate the effect of exposure to a virtual reality session during botulinum toxin injections on injection-induced stress. The secondary objectives are to study the effect of exposure to a virtual reality session during botulinum toxin injections, on the pain induced by the injection. And study the evolution of the effects of virtual reality with the repetition of the sessions.
This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled single ascending dose escalation study intended to assess the safety, pharmacokinetics and efficacy of single treatment of SL-1002 in patients with mild to severe limb spasticity. The study will enroll 4 cohorts of 8 patients per cohort for a total of 32 patients. Patients will be randomized to receive either SL-1002 or placebo in a 3:1 ratio. The study period will be up to 26 weeks inclusive of a screening period of up to 2 weeks.
