Vibrotactile Coordinated Reset for Spasticity After Spinal Cord Injury
This study is testing a new device called the Stanford CR Glove, which delivers gentle vibrations to your fingertips (vibrotactile Coordinated Reset), to see if it can help reduce spasticity (muscle stiffness) in people with spinal cord injuries. This treatment is non-invasive and aims to be an alternative to current treatments like oral baclofen. We are looking for 30 adults, aged 18 or older, who have had an incomplete spinal cord injury for at least one year and experience spasticity in their upper body with a Modified Ashworth Scale (MAS) score greater than 3. The main goal is to see how much your spasticity changes after using the device, measured at different times over 12 weeks.
- Study design
- This is an interventional study with a planned enrollment of 30 participants. The study will evaluate the effects of the Stanford CR Glove.
- What's involved
- You would be followed for three months and asked to come to the lab for clinical testing 4 times during this period.
- Compensation
- Not stated in the trial record.
- Follow-up
- Participants will be followed for 12 weeks after treatment, with spasticity measured at 2 hours, 1 week, 4 weeks, and 12 weeks.

What this trial measures
- Change from baseline in spasticity with the Modified Ashworth Scale (MAS) at 2 hours, 1 week, 4 weeks, and 12 weeks.Baseline, 2 hours, 1 week, 4 weeks, and 12 weeks
The MAS is a method of grading muscle spasticity according to a 6-point ordinal scale. In this assessment, spasticity is judged to be present when resistance is encountered during passive muscle stretching. With a score of 0 indicating no increase in muscle flexion and a score on 4 indicating and increase in muscle flexion. Low numeric ratings indicate better outcomes and high numbers indicate worse outcome.
