About the trial
What the trial wants to find out
A prospective, randomized, double-blind, sham-controlled trial designed to evaluate the effects of Repeated Muscle Vibration (rMV) on motor recovery in acute stroke patients treated within 72 hours of symptom onset
The 2 groups in the trial
- Patients with VibrationTreatment being tested
VG participants undergo rMV treatment, carried out for three consecutive days by 2 trained physiatrists; each daily session consists of three 10-minute treatment (impaired upper limb), interspersed with a 1-minute break. During the rMV, subjects are required to make a voluntary isometric contraction of the treated muscle
Treatment: Repeated Muscle Vibration (rMV)
- Control group (CG)Sham treatment, for comparison
Participants in the CG undergo sham rMV, where the vibrator is positioned near the tendon but does not produce vibrations. Sham rMV treatment is carried out for three consecutive days by 2 trained physiatrists; each daily session consists of three 10-minute treatment (impaired upper limb), interspersed with a 1-minute break. During the rMV, subjects are required to make a voluntary isometric contraction of the treated muscle
Treatment: Repeated Muscle Vibration (rMV)
