Combined Antagonistic Muscle Magnetic Stimulation and Selective Periferal Neurotomy to Improve Results on Spasticity
Sponsor: Juan Carlos M. Andreani MD
Summary
The objective of the present trial is to demonstrate Magnetic stimulation as an useful complementary treatment in order to improve patients' evolution without the need of extensive surgical lesion.
Official title: The Use of Antagonistic Muscle Magnetic Stimulation to Avoid Extensive Lesions and Improve Results of Selective Peripheral Neurotomy on Refractory and I POost Stroke Spasticity With Exclusive or Predominant Right Upper Limb Arm

Conditions
Interventions
- Postoperative Antagonistic Peripheral Magnetic Stimulation
Selected patients will be treated with Selective peripheral Neurotomy followed by an standartized cycle of Selective Peripheral Magnetic Stimulation and classic post operative Kinesic Therapy. * Sham patients (n 10) will be treated with classic post operative Kinesic Therapy. * Comparision of both groups will be statistified
Selective Peripheral Magnetic Stimulation
Peripheral 1.5 tesla intensity, 10 Hz of Frequency, with "eight saped" bovine, of 30 minutes, aplied on antagonistic muscles, twice a week. Intensity will be infrathreshold, 80 per cent of the individual threshold (minimal amount of intensity producing always a muscle motor response in each particular patient)
Kinesics
Session of classic Kinetic Rehabilitation and motor exercises, twice a week on Physicians´s office and dayly on patient´s home.
