Stanford Medicine - Trial to measure the stiffness in the joints of hypertonic arms - 0 views

  •  
    Stanford trial and study to learn about upper extremity hypertonia (stiffness) in children and young adults with cerebral palsy. Specifically, they want to learn about ways to measure the stiffness in the joints of hypertonic arms. The information the research team will collect includes any physical exams or computer generated data about your arm movements.

Childhood Hypertonia of Central Origin: A Trial of Anticholinergic Treatment Effects - 0 views

  •  
    Stanford University sponsored study of trihexyphenidyl in children with upper extremity dystonia due to cerebral palsy. It is hypothesized that trihexyphenidyl in doses up to 0.75mg/kg/day would be well-tolerated and show significant changes on the Melbourne scale of upper extremity function.

Botulinum Toxin for the Treatment of Involuntary Movement Disorders - 0 views

  •  
    Study will examine the effectiveness of botulinum toxin as treatment for a variety of movement disorders. The goals of the study are to refine the technique of treatment to provide the best results, to improve the understanding of how botulinum toxin works on movement disorders, and find other conditions that may be treatable with botulinum toxin.In addition, researchers also plan to study the possible use of botulinum toxin F alone and in combination with botulinum toxin A in patients who do not respond to botulinum A toxin treatment.

Botulinum Toxin (BOTOX) for Cerebral Palsy - 0 views

  •  
    Clinical trial being conducted by Eunice Kennedy Shriver NationalInstitute of Child Health and Human Development NICHD to examine botulinum toxin (BOTOX, or BTX) for the treatment of muscle twitches and spasticity associated with cerebral palsy in children. Botulinum toxin is a naturally occurring bacterial toxin (botulinum toxin) that inactivates certain parts of muscles.

Human Movement Database - 0 views

  •  
    Study will collect information on the different ways people control limb and body movements. This information will be used to develop a database on normal movements and adaptive movements of people who have diseases that affect the way they move. The database will serve as a tool to improve diagnosis and treatment of patients with movement-related problems.

BOTOX® Economic Spasticity Trial (BEST) - 0 views

  •  
    Study to investigate if patients who have had a stroke and suffer from spasticity might benefit from being given BOTOX® in addition to the normal Standard Care. Spasticity is characterized by stiffness or frequent cramps accompanied by pain and abnormal movements and can prevent the carrying out of everyday tasks such as walking and getting dressed. BOTOX® is a neurotoxin, which is used to prevent the contraction of muscle fibre and has been shown to reduce spasticity significantly. Patients will be enrolled in this study at about 33 locations in Europe and Canada

Physiologic Studies of Spasticity - 0 views

  •  
    Study will provide information about changes that occur in the motor neurons of the spinal cord (the nerve cells that control the muscles) when the motor cortex (the region of the brain that controls movement) is unable to send messages to the spinal cord and muscles in the normal way. This information will help elucidate how the nervous system adapts after injury or disease of the motor cortex.
