Spasticity – Ipsen CLIN-52120-458
Participating in a clinical trial with Profound means making a real difference in the lives of others facing similar health challenges.
This study will monitor patients during the first year following their stroke.
Stroke is a very serious condition where there is a sudden interruption of blood flow in the brain.
The main aim of the study will be to find out how many of those who experience their first-ever stroke then go on to develop spasticity that would benefit from treatment with medication.
Spasticity is a common post-stroke condition that causes stiff or ridged muscles.
The results of this study will provide a standard guideline on the best way to monitor the development of post-stroke spasticity.
