Cutaneous Silent Period and Spasticity

NCT03421509 · Status: UNKNOWN · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 50

Last updated 2018-07-03

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The cutaneous silent period (CSP) is a brief transient suppression of the voluntary muscle contraction that follows a noxious cutaneous nerve stimulation. Studies in patients with central disorders of motor control such as dystonia and Parkinson's disease have shown CSP abnormalities indicating that supraspinal pathways influence this inhibitory spinal reflex. The aim of this study is to investigate the association between CSP parameters (duration and latency) and spasticity in stroke.
