phenol and Brain Injuries

phenol has been researched along with Brain Injuries in 3 studies

Brain Injuries: Acute and chronic (see also BRAIN INJURIES, CHRONIC) injuries to the brain, including the cerebral hemispheres, CEREBELLUM, and BRAIN STEM. Clinical manifestations depend on the nature of injury. Diffuse trauma to the brain is frequently associated with DIFFUSE AXONAL INJURY or COMA, POST-TRAUMATIC. Localized injuries may be associated with NEUROBEHAVIORAL MANIFESTATIONS; HEMIPARESIS, or other focal neurologic deficits.

Trial Outcomes

Dynamic Component of Spasticity (Spasticity Angle)

According to the Modified Tardieu Scale, the difference between the angle of slow passive motion and the angle of muscle reaction represents the dynamic component of spasticity (spasticity angle) in degree. A big difference suggests spasticity while the low difference suggests muscular contracture. In this study, dynamic component of spasticity (spasticity angle) at forearm pronation, neutral position and supination was evaluated separately. (NCT03563209)
Timeframe: 1 day (Only one measurement was performed in time (cross-sectional))
