Trial Outcomes

Subjects Experiencing Maximal MAS Change From Baseline - Spasticity of Cerebral Origin

"The Modified Ashworth Scale (MAS) is a 6-point scale (Standard MAS scale values: 0, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, or 4) used to evaluate spasticity based on grading muscle tone by moving joints. The MAS scores in this cohort are measured in biceps, triceps and forearm flexor muscles in upper extremities; and quadriceps, hamstrings and gastrocnemius muscles in lower extremities. The score ranges from 0 (no increase in muscle tone) to 4 (affected part(s) rigid in flexion or extension). Improvement in spasticity was a reduction in MAS score by 1 point across a joint tested. Maximal MAS change is the sum of MAS score reduction in all four limbs tested.~This outcome looks at subjects with spasticity of cerebral origin." (NCT02903823)
Timeframe: Baseline to 6 hours post-injection
