Brief Summary

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

The aim of the study is to assess the efficacy of dry needling in stroke patients in combination with intensive neurological physiotherapy.

together with intensive neurological physiotherapy treatment. Randomised and blinded experimental study control group where the sample recruited was 20 patients, who were randomly assigned to a control group.

randomly assigned to a control group, where they received intensive treatment, or to an intervention group, where they received intervention group, where they received ultrasound-guided dry needling of the tibialis anterior and posterior muscles followed by an intensive followed by intensive neurological physiotherapy treatment.
