Study on shoulder pain after stroke
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests a treatment for shoulder stiffness and pain caused by muscle tightness after a stroke. It focuses on people who still have some limited shoulder movement and may help improve range of motion and comfort.
