Botulinum toxin plus shockwave for leg spasticity in cerebral palsy
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study tests if combining botulinum toxin injections with radial extracorporeal shockwave therapy (RESWT) works better than injection alone for reducing leg spasticity in children with cerebral palsy. If your child has spasticity in leg muscles and is already receiving botulinum toxin, they may benefit from this additional therapy.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child has been diagnosed with cerebral palsy.
- Your child has stiffness or tightness (spasticity) in at least one leg muscle group.
- Your child has received a botulinum toxin (Botox) injection for a spastic leg muscle.
- Your child does not have any conditions that make shockwave therapy unsafe, like uncontrolled epilepsy or a bleeding disorder.
- You or your child agree to take part in the study.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study tests whether adding shockwave treatment to botulinum toxin type A (a botox-like injection) improves outcomes for people with stiff, tight upper-arm muscles after brain injury, stroke, or cerebral palsy. It also compares this to standard botulinum toxin care alone.
This trial tests whether shockwave therapy can reduce muscle tightness in the elbow and wrist caused by spinal cord injury. It may help make daily tasks like dressing or bathing easier.
This study tests whether adding shock wave therapy to usual Botox injections can further reduce ankle stiffness caused by a stroke. Shock waves are sound waves delivered to the muscle to relax it, and this may improve your walking and comfort.
This study tests whether a non-invasive treatment called extracorporeal shock wave therapy can reduce muscle stiffness (spasticity) in the leg after a stroke. It aims to improve movement and make daily activities easier.
This trial tests if shock wave therapy can reduce shoulder stiffness caused by a stroke. It may help improve shoulder movement and daily comfort.
This study tests whether combining a gentle brain stimulation treatment (rTMS) with physical therapy can help improve leg movement and reduce muscle stiffness in children with cerebral palsy. The goal is to see if this combination works better than therapy alone.
