Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether injections of Botulinum toxin type A into muscles of the upper limb are effective in treating spasticity in patients after stroke.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The study consists of a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group, single-dose main period followed by an open-label, non-controlled, repeated-dose extension period (Open-Label Extension Period - OLEX).
