Description
Post-stroke spasticity (PSS) is a common and disabling complication of stroke that can impair upper-limb function, limit activities of daily living, and negatively affect quality of life. Current treatment options, including oral antispasticity medications and botulinum toxin injections, may provide incomplete symptom control and are often associated with tolerability limitations. Therefore, there is a need for novel therapies that can improve both spasticity and functional recovery in individuals with PSS. Preclinical evidence and early clinical experience support evaluation of BMS-986368 as…
