Botulinum toxin study for arm spasticity after stroke
Treatments studied
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study tests a new botulinum toxin injection (YY001) for adults whose arm muscles are tight or stiff after a stroke. It looks at whether repeated treatments help with daily activities like washing and dressing.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 75 years old.
- You had a stroke at least 3 months ago that causes arm or hand stiffness on one side.
- Your stiffness makes daily tasks like hygiene, dressing, limb position, or pain at least moderately difficult.
- You have not had any botulinum toxin injections in the last 6 months.
- You do not have fixed joint stiffness (contractures) in the affected arm.
- You are not allergic to botulinum toxin or any of its components.

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 trial tests a new injectable medication (Eveotox) to see if it can safely reduce arm or hand stiffness in people who have had a stroke. The goal is to improve daily activities like dressing or cleaning your hand.
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.
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 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 trial tests whether adding phenol injections to standard botulinum toxin (Botox) treatment works better than Botox alone for reducing muscle tightness in the arm after a stroke. It may help improve arm movement and daily function.
