IU School Of Medicine Seeks Stroke Patients For Study On Botox
INDIANAPOLIS - The Indiana University School of Medicine Department
of Neurology is seeking stroke patients with muscle tightness or spasticity
for a study of a drug previously found to increase short-term flexibility.
The study will evaluate the safety of repeated doses of Botox® (botulinum
toxin type A). Participants will be enrolled in the study for 13 months
and will be required to make 11 visits to the IU Medical Center for up
to five sets of Botox injections.
Participants, who may have tightness or spasticity on only one side of
the body, will receive physical examinations, spasticity evaluations and
blood tests. Those enrolled in the study will receive compensation for
their time.
To qualify, individuals must be at least 21 years of age, have had a
stroke more than six months ago and have muscle tightness in the arm affected
by the stroke.
For additional information or to enroll, contact Libby Kuhn at 317-274-2234,
or by e-mail at ekuhn@iupui.edu.
