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.
