Brief Summary

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

The patients between the ages of 35-80 who developed spasticity in the upper extremity after stroke will be included.. Botulinum toxin(BT-A) injection will be applied to the study group(n=16) and placebo injection to the control group(n=15) in addition to conventional rehabilitation and stretching exercises. Evaluations will be made before the treatment, in the 2nd week, and in 3rd month after the treatment. Pain relief will be evaluated with the Visual Analog Scale(VAS) and spasticity assessment will be done with the Modified Ashworth Scale(MAS). The functionality will be evaluated with Fugl Meyer Assessment Scale(FMAS) and Box Block Test(BBT).
