Study of muscle tightness in spinal cord injury and Parkinson's
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study looks at muscle tightness (hypertonia) in people with spinal cord injury, Parkinson's disease, and healthy volunteers. It aims to better understand and measure different types of stiffness to improve treatments.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must have a spinal cord injury that happened more than one year ago, OR have Parkinson's disease, OR be a healthy volunteer.
- No current leg or joint injuries.
- No osteoporosis (brittle bones).
- No pacemaker.
- Not taking medicine for muscle spasms or depression right now.

This study compares how hip muscles work in people with and without Parkinson's disease. Researchers will measure your hip muscle strength and control to better understand how Parkinson's affects movement and balance.
This study uses an MRI scan and movement measurements to better understand muscle tightness (spasticity) in children with cerebral palsy. It may help researchers improve how spasticity is evaluated and modeled to support future treatments.
This study checks whether a special device can reliably measure muscle stiffness and spasticity (tight, overactive muscles) in children. It includes children with cerebral palsy and healthy children to compare measurements and improve accuracy.
This study looks at a type of muscle stiffness called spastic myopathy in adults with cerebral palsy. It tests whether a specific treatment or evaluation can help improve walking and calf muscle flexibility.
This study is looking at ways to improve movement and health for people with paralysis from conditions like spinal cord injury, stroke, traumatic brain injury, or multiple sclerosis. It involves exercises and may include electrical stimulation to help your leg and trunk muscles work better.
This trial tests a spinal cord stimulator to reduce muscle stiffness (spasticity) after a stroke. If you've had arm or leg tightness that hasn't improved with other treatments, this device might help you move more easily.
