Botulinum Toxin Injections by Ultrasounds Guidance and Stretching Exercise in Spastic Toe Clawing
In Brief
A Phase 3 clinical trial evaluating Botulinum Toxin Type A and Stretching exercise for Cerebrovascular Accident. Completed, enrolled 30 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Claw toes deformity result in spasticity often seem in patients with central nerve disease. It also cause pressure sore in foot and pain during walking that didn't well improve under traditional treatment. There are few relative reports about the Botulinum toxin type A (BTX-A) injection on claw toe. The investigators' study has two main purposes: 1. assess the efficiency of BTX-A injection under ultrasonographyic guidance on improving lower extremities function, pain and spasticity in patients with symptomatic claw toes. 2. assess if regular stretching exercise can strength the efficiency of BTX-A injection on improving lower extremities function, pain and spasticity.
