About this study

This is a randomized parallel group clinical trial which will be conducted in three countries (Spain, Canada and Belgium) comparing Botulinum Toxin type A (BTX-A) and Dry Needling (DN) effectiveness for post-stroke spasticity in participants who had a first stroke in the previous 12 months and have plantar flexor spasticity. Participants will be randomly allocated to receive either one session of BTX-A or 12 weekly sessions of DN. Blinded evaluators will assess the effects before, during, and after treatment, and at a 4-week follow-up.
