Botox dilution options for walking in hemiplegic gait
Treatments studied
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This Phase 1 study tests whether using a lower or higher dilution of Botox injections improves walking in people with hemiplegic gait. The goal is to see which dilution works better (and is safe) for walking and leg stiffness.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have an equinovarus foot position (the foot turns in/down).
- Your leg muscle stiffness is about a 3 on the Ashworth scale (moderate stiffness).
- You can walk indoors either by yourself or with a cane.
- You do not have a mental health condition that would interfere with your walking pattern during the study.
- You do not have other muscle or bone problems that clearly affect your walking.

This study looks at how well botulinum toxin (Botox) works for reducing muscle tightness in people who have weakness on one side of the body after a stroke. It will use medical records from before and after treatment to see if the injections improve function.
This study tests whether doing ankle strengthening exercises after Botox injections can improve foot lift and walking ability in people with spastic hemiplegia. It may help you if you have had Botox for calf spasticity but still have trouble lifting your foot.
This study looks at how botulinum toxin (botox) injections affect the muscles, tendons, and nerves in the lower leg of people who have had a stroke and have a tight, twisted foot (equinovarus). It aims to understand these changes to improve future treatments.
This study tests whether botulinum toxin (Botox) injections into the rectus femoris thigh muscle can improve balance and walking in people with a stiff knee gait (a common problem after stroke, brain injury, or multiple sclerosis).
This trial tests whether adding phenol injections to standard botulinum toxin (Botox) treatment works better than Botox alone for reducing muscle tightness in the arm after a stroke. It may help improve arm movement and daily function.
This trial tests if adding whole-body vibration therapy to botulinum toxin A (Botox) injections can improve muscle stiffness, balance, and walking in stroke survivors. It may help reduce spasticity and make daily activities easier.
