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

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 studies a special vibration-based therapy (“vibrotactile coordinated reset”) to help improve movement after stroke. You may be considered if your stroke is long-term and you have ongoing arm and leg weakness, but no major issues that could affect safety or testing.
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.
This trial tests whether combining task-oriented exercises with focal vibration (gentle vibrating stimulation) can help improve arm and hand function and feeling in people who've had a stroke. The vibration aims to help your brain better sense where your hand is and what it's touching.
This study tests whether a program using local vibrations on the muscles in the front of your ankle can improve leg nerve and movement recovery after stroke. It may help people who have weak ankle lifting during the weeks to months after stroke.
