Muscle changes in the first month after stroke or brain injury
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 80 years old
- You have weakness on one side of your body due to a first stroke or traumatic brain injury
- Your stroke or brain injury happened less than one month ago
- You are able to have an MRI scan
- You do not have severe cognitive problems, other nerve or muscle diseases, or conditions that affect your limb function
