Evaluation of the Effect of Repetitive Peripheral Magnetic Stimulation on Upper Extremity Spasticity After Stroke
Evaluation of the Effect of Repetitive Peripheral Magnetic Stimulation With Shearwave Ultrasound Elastography in Upper Extremity Spasticity After Stroke: a Randomized Controlled Trial
Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 29 Jan 2025
Brief summary (registry, in English)
Spasticity is a frequent problem in post-stroke patients. It can negatively affect the functional recovery of patients and impair their quality of life. The repetitive pulsed magnetic stimulation (rPMS) treatment has been shown to cause a reduction in muscle tone and improvement in activities of daily living in stroke patients. So far, the effects of rPMS on muscle tone, which is the neurophysiological component of spasticity, have been evaluated, but its effects on the biomechanical component (soft tissue stiffness) have not been demonstrated. In this study, the effects of rPMS on soft tissue stiffness as well as increased muscle tone will be evaluated with clinical and ultrasound elastography in post-stroke patients with upper extremity spasticity.
