What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Muscle Tone as Measured by the Modified Ashworth Scale (MAS) in the Elbow at Baseline

    The MAS assessed the degree of muscle tone during movement of the elbow compared to normal muscle tone using a 6-point scale where: 0=no increase in muscle tone, 1=Slight increase in muscle tone manifested by a catch and release or by minimal resistance at the end of the range of motion when the part is moved, 1+=Slight increase in muscle tone manifested by a catch followed by minimal resistance throughout the remainder of the range of motion, 2=Marked increase in muscle tone through most of the range of motion but affected part easily moved, 3=Considerable increase in muscle tone passive movement difficult or 4=Affected part rigid in movement or extension. A low score indicated little or no stiffness (best). A high score indicated severe stiffness (worse). The number of participants in each score category is presented.

    Measured: Baseline

  2. Muscle Tone as Measured by the Modified Ashworth Scale (MAS) in the Elbow at Week 24

    The MAS assessed the degree of muscle tone during movement of the elbow compared to normal muscle tone using a 6-point scale where: 0=no increase in muscle tone, 1=Slight increase in muscle tone manifested by a catch and release or by minimal resistance at the end of the range of motion when the part is moved, 1+=Slight increase in muscle tone manifested by a catch followed by minimal resistance throughout the remainder of the range of motion, 2=Marked increase in muscle tone through most of the range of motion but affected part easily moved, 3=Considerable increase in muscle tone passive movement difficult or 4=Affected part rigid in movement or extension. A low score indicated little or no stiffness (best). A high score indicated severe stiffness (worse). The number of participants in each score category is presented.

    Measured: Week 24

  3. Muscle Tone as Measured by the Modified Ashworth Scale (MAS) in the Wrist at Baseline

    The MAS assessed the degree of muscle tone during movement of the wrist compared to normal muscle tone using a 6-point scale where: 0=no increase in muscle tone, 1=Slight increase in muscle tone manifested by a catch and release or by minimal resistance at the end of the range of motion when the part is moved, 1+=Slight increase in muscle tone manifested by a catch followed by minimal resistance throughout the remainder of the range of motion, 2=Marked increase in muscle tone through most of the range of motion but affected part easily moved, 3=Considerable increase in muscle tone passive movement difficult or 4=Affected part rigid in movement or extension. A low score indicated little or no stiffness (best). A high score indicated severe stiffness (worse). The number of participants in each score category is presented.

    Measured: Baseline

  4. Muscle Tone as Measured by the Modified Ashworth Scale (MAS) in the Wrist at Week 24

    The MAS assessed the degree of muscle tone during movement of the wrist compared to normal muscle tone using a 6-point scale where: 0=no increase in muscle tone, 1=Slight increase in muscle tone manifested by a catch and release or by minimal resistance at the end of the range of motion when the part is moved, 1+=Slight increase in muscle tone manifested by a catch followed by minimal resistance throughout the remainder of the range of motion, 2=Marked increase in muscle tone through most of the range of motion but affected part easily moved, 3=Considerable increase in muscle tone passive movement difficult or 4=Affected part rigid in movement or extension. A low score indicated little or no stiffness (best). A high score indicated severe stiffness (worse). The number of participants in each score category is presented.

    Measured: Week 24

  5. Muscle Tone as Measured by the Modified Ashworth Scale (MAS) in the Fingers at Baseline

    The MAS assessed the degree of muscle tone during movement of the fingers compared to normal muscle tone using a 6-point scale where: 0=no increase in muscle tone, 1=Slight increase in muscle tone manifested by a catch and release or by minimal resistance at the end of the range of motion when the part is moved, 1+=Slight increase in muscle tone manifested by a catch followed by minimal resistance throughout the remainder of the range of motion, 2=Marked increase in muscle tone through most of the range of motion but affected part easily moved, 3=Considerable increase in muscle tone passive movement difficult or 4=Affected part rigid in movement or extension. A low score indicated little or no stiffness (best). A high score indicated severe stiffness (worse). The number of participants in each score category is presented.

    Measured: Baseline

  6. Muscle Tone as Measured by the Modified Ashworth Scale (MAS) in the Fingers at Week 24

    The MAS assessed the degree of muscle tone during movement of the fingers compared to normal muscle tone using a 6-point scale where: 0=no increase in muscle tone, 1=Slight increase in muscle tone manifested by a catch and release or by minimal resistance at the end of the range of motion when the part is moved, 1+=Slight increase in muscle tone manifested by a catch followed by minimal resistance throughout the remainder of the range of motion, 2=Marked increase in muscle tone through most of the range of motion but affected part easily moved, 3=Considerable increase in muscle tone passive movement difficult or 4=Affected part rigid in movement or extension. A low score indicated little or no stiffness (best). A high score indicated severe stiffness (worse). The number of participants in each score category is presented.

    Measured: Week 24

  7. Muscle Tone as Measured by the Modified Ashworth Scale (MAS) in the Thumb at Baseline

    The MAS assessed the degree of muscle tone during movement of the thumb compared to normal muscle tone using a 6-point scale where: 0=no increase in muscle tone, 1=Slight increase in muscle tone manifested by a catch and release or by minimal resistance at the end of the range of motion when the part is moved, 1+=Slight increase in muscle tone manifested by a catch followed by minimal resistance throughout the remainder of the range of motion, 2=Marked increase in muscle tone through most of the range of motion but affected part easily moved, 3=Considerable increase in muscle tone passive movement difficult or 4=Affected part rigid in movement or extension. A low score indicated little or no stiffness (best). A high score indicated severe stiffness (worse). The number of participants in each score category is presented.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Muscle Spasticity, run by Allergan at 1 site in Germany.

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 3 inclusion and 1 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 3 Feb 2014. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Germany. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 3 Feb 2014). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Muscle Tone as Measured by the Modified Ashworth Scale (MAS) in the Elbow at Baseline (time frame: Baseline). The study lists 8 primary outcomes in all. 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 3 Feb 2014.
