Further study details as provided by Ipsen:

Primary Outcome Measures:
  • Reduction of spasticity assessed by changes of the Modified Ashworth Spasticity Score from baseline of elbow and wrist flexors in supine anatomical position [ Time Frame: week 4 ]

Secondary Outcome Measures:
  • Improvement of neurologic outcome (mobility and function), evaluated by Modified Ashworth Scale, Barthel Index, Modified Rankin scale, Functional scale (Motor Assessment Scale) [ Time Frame: weeks 4, 8, 12 & 24 ]
  • Voluntary and passive joint range of motion goniometer assessment [ Time Frame: weeks 4, 8, 12 & 24 ]
  • Pain Assessment using visual analogue scale for pain [ Time Frame: weeks 4, 8, 12 & 24 ]

Ages Eligible for Study:   18 Years to 80 Years
Genders Eligible for Study:   Both
Accepts Healthy Volunteers:   No
Criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

  • First-ever stroke according to the World Health Organisation criteria (previous transient ischaemic attack or clinically silent infarct on CT/MRI is not counted as previous stroke)
  • CT/MRI scan required to classify ischaemic / haemorrhagic stroke
  • Patient recruited 2-12 weeks after stroke
  • Modified Ashworth Spasticity Score 1+ or above in either elbow or wrist joint

Exclusion Criteria:

  • The patient has bleeding disturbances or having used coumarin derivatives
  • The patient is currently receiving drugs affecting neuromuscular transmission
  • Co-existing severe systemic illness which may adversely affect the functional outcome
  • Pre-existing neuromuscular junction disease or any neurogenic disorders which can interfere with spasticity
