Testing a new pill for post-stroke arm stiffness
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests an experimental pill (BMS-986368) that targets two brain chemicals to reduce muscle stiffness after a stroke. It's for people who had a stroke in the last 4 to 18 months and have moderate tightness in their elbow and wrist.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study tests whether electrical stimulation applied to arm muscles can reduce stiffness (spasticity) in the wrist after a stroke. Researchers will measure how well this treatment works and how it affects nerve signals in your arm.
This study tests an investigational drug (BMS-986368) to see if it helps reduce muscle stiffness and spasms caused by multiple sclerosis. It may be an option if you have had spasticity for at least 6 months and are not currently using other treatments that cannot be paused.
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 24-month study helps doctors improve how they treat muscle stiffness (spasticity) that develops after stroke. You'll work with a research team to track your recovery and test better ways to reduce stiffness and improve movement.
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.
