Vibration therapy after botox for stroke spasticity
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests if adding whole-body vibration therapy to botulinum toxin A (Botox) injections can improve muscle stiffness, balance, and walking in stroke survivors. It may help reduce spasticity and make daily activities easier.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You had a stroke that caused weakness on one side of your body
- You are between 18 and 75 years old
- You have moderate or higher muscle stiffness in your ankle (MAS 2 or more)
- You can walk at least 100 meters, even if you need a cane or walker
- You do not have any other serious nerve or muscle diseases
- You have not had vibration therapy before

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 whether vibrations applied to the bottom of your feet can help improve walking and balance after stroke. You'll receive plantar vibration therapy (gentle vibrations under your feet) while performing walking and balance exercises to see if it helps your recovery.
This study tests if a short, local vibration treatment can help stroke patients with leg spasticity (tightness in the calf muscle) improve walking. If you have had a stroke and have mild to moderate spasticity in your lower leg, you may be able to join.
This trial tests if gentle vibrations can reduce muscle stiffness (spasticity) in the lower leg after a neurologic condition like stroke or brain injury. You may join if you've had spasticity for at least 6 months and can stand with or without help.
This trial tests a small vibrating device worn on the skin to help your brain recover better after a stroke. It may improve movement in your arm or leg without needing surgery or medicine.
This trial studies whether regular muscle vibration can reduce post-stroke muscle stiffness and improve how the brain and nerves adapt. If you’re in the right stage after stroke, it may help improve arm and hand movement.
