An interventional study of - Postoperative Antagonistic Peripheral Magnetic Stimulation and Selective Peripheral Magnetic Stimulation in STROKE, sponsored by Juan Carlos M. Andreani MD. Not yet recruiting. Open to participants aged 25 Years and older. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2024-08-19.

The objective of the present trial is to demonstrate Magnetic stimulation as an useful complementary treatment in order to improve patients' evolution without the need of extensive surgical lesion.
Patients with refractory post stroke upper right limb spasticity will operated by Median nerve or Median/ Cubital selective neurotomy depending upon more affected territories.
Some of them could be also also operated with posterioris tibialis neurotomy to treat equine's foot whenever also clinically present. Preoperative motor blocks might be possitive in all cases.
A week later, they will be treated by magnetic stimulation on selected antagonistic muscles, related to pre - operative affected ones, mostly deltoids, triceps and finger extensors with an equipment Dipol Zeta D5 (Russian Federation), with 1.5 tesla of intensity.
Trials will be repeated twice a week in sessions of 30 minutes during 6 months with simultaneous intensive classic rehabilitation.
Patients will be monthly evaluated by the mean score of Modified Ashworth Scale, related to fingers, wrist, elbow and shoulder and also with Barthel Scale.
Exclusion Criteria:
- Classic Rehabilitation and Kinesic Therapy
Procedure: - Postoperative Antagonistic Peripheral Magnetic Stimulation · Other: Kinesics
- Surgery: Selective Peripheral Neurotomy is surgical a method of section on suplying peripheral nerves of motor fascicles to relieve harmful spasticity. An intraoperative stimulation of motor fascicles is done, and those which abnormal spreading on far placed myotomes are more evident are chosen to be sectioned.
Procedure: - Postoperative Antagonistic Peripheral Magnetic Stimulation · Other: Kinesics
- Postoperative Antagonistic Peripheral Magnetic Stimulation with 1.5 tesla intensity, infrathreshold 80 per cent of minimal intensity able to produce always muscle contraccion. Trials repeated twice a week in sessions of 30 minutes during 6 months
Procedure: - Postoperative Antagonistic Peripheral Magnetic Stimulation · Device: Selective Peripheral Magnetic Stimulation · Other: Kinesics
Selected patients will be treated with Selective peripheral Neurotomy followed by an standartized cycle of Selective Peripheral Magnetic Stimulation and classic post operative Kinesic Therapy. * Sham patients (n 10) will be treated with classic post operative Kinesic Therapy. * Comparision of both groups will be statistified
Also known as: - Preoperative Peripheral Nerve Blockade, - Selective Peripheral Neurotomy, - Kinesic Rehabilitation Therapy
Peripheral 1.5 tesla intensity, 10 Hz of Frequency, with "eight saped" bovine, of 30 minutes, aplied on antagonistic muscles, twice a week. Intensity will be infrathreshold, 80 per cent of the individual threshold (minimal amount of intensity producing always a muscle motor response in each particular patient)
Session of classic Kinetic Rehabilitation and motor exercises, twice a week on Physicians´s office and dayly on patient´s home.
Also known as: Classic Rehabilitation Treatment
Modified Ashworth Scale (MAS)
- Mean Preoperative and sequencial monthly postoperative evaluation of stiffness and ranges of joint pasive movements at the shoulder, elbow, wrist and fingers.
Time frame: Post operative Modified Ashworth Scale /MAS) setted up monthly for each patient taking into account the postoperative date, during six continued months.
Fugl - Meyer Scale
Pre and post operative evaluation of a set of active and pasive movements and articular angles in the upper limb
Time frame: Post operative Fugl - Meyer Scale evaluation, setted up monthly for each patient taking into account the postoperative date, during six continued months.
Barthel Scale
Pre and post operative evaluation of ten basic current dayly life activities, scored 10, 5 or 0 points each one, a total of 100 points
Time frame: Post operative Barthel Scale evaluation setted up monthly for each patient taking into account the postoperative date, during six continued months.
