Research on the improvement effect of spasticity by extracorporeal shock wave

Phase 1

• Conditions: cerebral palsy, stroke; Central neuropathy (cerebral palsy, cerebral hemorrhage, cerebral infarction, acute encephalopathy s

• Registration Number: JPRN-jRCTs052190050
• Lead Sponsor: Kawabata Hidehiko

Brief Summary

We examined the effectiveness of extracorporeal shock wave treatment for upper and lower limb spasticity associated with central neuropathy. The ankle dorsal flexion angle was improved by irradiation of the gastrocnemius muscle. Regarding the knee joint and upper limb, it was difficult to carry out the planned research due to the epidemic of COVID-19.
