Botox plus therapy for muscle stiffness
Treatments studied
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study looks at whether combining Botox injections with other non-drug treatments (like physical therapy) is more effective for treating spasticity (muscle stiffness) than Botox alone. If you are already planning to get Botox for your spasticity, you may be able to participate.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years or older.
- You must have spasticity (muscle stiffness or tightness) that is either sudden (acute) or long-term (chronic).
- Your treatment plan must include both Botox (botulinum toxin) injections and other non-drug therapies like physical therapy.
- You must be assessed and approved by the spasticity team at the study center.
- You cannot have had a Botox injection for spasticity in the past 3 months before starting the study.
- You cannot have a planned Botox re-injection scheduled before the study's follow-up ends.

This trial tests whether IPN10200, a Botox-like treatment, is safe and helps reduce stiff, tight upper-arm muscles caused by spasticity after stroke or brain injury. You may be able to join if you meet specific timing, prior-treatment, and muscle-stiffness measurements.
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 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 an investigational botulinum toxin injection (YY001) to reduce muscle stiffness in the arm after a stroke. It may help you move your arm more easily and improve daily tasks.
This study compares two ways of giving Botox injections to reduce muscle stiffness in people with spastic paraplegia: one uses the doctor's hands to find the injection spot, and the other uses ultrasound to guide the needle. The goal is to see if ultrasound guidance improves the results.
