About this study

To assess feasability, tolerance of anesthesic intramuscular motor block. To study immediate effects on differents muscles : gluteus maximus, rectus femoris in a hemiparetic population (over 15 days) To precise the role of the muscles which could be rehabilitatoin targets.

Read the detailed description

Spastic paresis comprises both muscular and neurological disorders affecting movement through mostly the antagonist muscles compared to the agonist : muscular : spastic myopathy, shortening, stretch-sensitive paresis and neurogenic : spastic dystonia and cocontraction.

About gait, most of the litterature focuses on distal muscles targets. There are no studies about proxmial muscles role (gluteus maximus). Anesthesic perineural block have the disavantage to induce sensitive block as intramuscular block do not.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Ropivacaine injection and Sodium Chloride Injection in people with Neurologic Disorder and Spastic Hemiplegia, run by Henri Mondor University Hospital.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 2 inclusion and 11 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 29 Aug 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact etienne savard (0033149813299, etienne.savard@aphp.fr), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Change from baseline of the active amplitude of hip flexion, knee flexion and ankle flexion (time frame: baseline, day 7 and day 14). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 29 Aug 2022.
