New treatment option for Post-stroke Patient in Acute, Sub-acute Phase or Chronic
Official title The Effects of Muscle Vibration on the Development of Spasticity and Neuroplasticity in a Post-stroke Population
ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT05315726
What this study is testing
- What it's testing
- Several studies have recently tested the use of muscle vibration for the rehabilitation of patients after a stroke. When applied in a repeated and focused manner, this vibration appears to promote the recovery of functional capacities through the mechanisms of neuromuscular plasticity.
- You might receive a placebo (an inactive treatment) instead of the study drug, decided by chance.
