IUSM seeks stroke patients for Botox study
The Department of Neurology at the IU School of Medicine is seeking stroke patients with muscle tightness or spasticity for a study on the effectiveness of Botox.

Participants, who will receive injections in their stroke affected arm, will be enrolled in the study for at least six months and will be required to make several visits to the IU Medical Center in Indianapolis. They will receive physical examinations, blood tests and medication for muscle tightness.

To qualify, individuals must be at least 18 years of age, have had a stroke more than six months ago and have never used Botox in the arm affected by the stroke.

For additional information or to enroll, contact Amy Perkins at 317-274-1327; E-mail ajkeen@iupui.edu.
