Predict and diagnose stiffness after a recent stroke
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study looks at how to predict and measure spasticity (muscle stiffness and tightness) in people after a recent stroke. It may help clinicians better diagnose and understand what to expect as you recover.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You had a stroke recently involving the middle part of the brain (middle cerebral artery area).
- The stroke caused weakness or trouble moving on one side of your body.
- Your stroke can be either bleeding (hemorrhagic) or blockage (ischemic).
- You are medically stable right now.
- You can understand the study and give informed consent.
- You do not have severe memory/thinking problems.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study looks at how your muscles change after a recent stroke or brain injury, and whether they become stiffer over time. By understanding these natural changes, doctors hope to improve treatments for muscle stiffness.
This study looks at how a stroke or mini-stroke affects the body's natural movement and alignment (called somatic dysfunction). Researchers want to see if there are common patterns of tightness or imbalance after a stroke, which could help guide future treatments.
This study checks early brain and arm/hand signals soon after a stroke to better predict how well people recover by about 90 days. It may help future, better-targeted stroke recovery studies by improving how recovery chances are measured early.
This study tests a new rehabilitation program for people who have had a stroke within the last 6 months. It focuses on improving arm weakness using special therapy techniques.
This study tests how reliable a new tool is for measuring muscle tightness after a stroke. It aims to help doctors better assess and manage your condition.
This study tests a new way to manage muscle stiffness (spasticity) after a stroke. It aims to make treatment more efficient and help patients recover movement.
