Botulinum toxin A combining with robot-assisted bimanual therapy integrating mirror therapy versus botulinum toxin A combining with robot-assisted bimanual therapy in patients with post-stroke spastic fingers: a randomized controlled pilot trial
Our pilot data demonstrated that an adjunct to BoNT-A for post-stroke spastic fingers, RBMT may provide more benefit in distal UE function than did RBT. However, a larger sample size and adding a proper control group are required to validate our findings in future studies. Trial registration This study was registered at ClinicalTrials.gov (ID no. NCT04826900, registered retrospectively on 03/28/2021).
