Electrical therapy for shoulder dislocation after stroke
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial tests if electrical stimulation can help treat a shoulder subluxation (partial dislocation) that can happen after a stroke. It may be an option for people who had a stroke more than 3 months ago.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- 18 years or older
- More than 3 months since your stroke
- Shoulder subluxation confirmed by ultrasound
- Your arm and hand have some movement (Brunnstrom stage 2 to 5)
- No severe spasticity or metal implants

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial compares two types of electrical stimulation (TENS alone vs TENS plus muscle stimulation) to reduce shoulder pain after a stroke. It might help if you have had a stroke and are experiencing shoulder pain on your weaker side.
This trial tests whether combining electrical muscle stimulation with nerve movement exercises can help improve arm strength and function in people who've had a stroke at least 3 months ago. The goal is to help you regain better control and movement in your affected arm.
This trial tests if combining two types of electrical stimulation with a robotic device can help improve arm movement in people who had a stroke at least 6 months ago. It may be a good option if you have some movement in your arm but not full strength.
This trial studies whether using ultrasound on a shoulder nerve (the suprascapular nerve) and guided shoulder movement exercises can improve shoulder motion in people after a stroke. It may help if your biggest problem is pain and limited shoulder movement after stroke.
This trial tests if an electrical stimulator controlled by muscle signals can help improve arm function after a stroke. It may benefit people who have some movement but not full control in one arm.
This study tests whether non-invasive brain stimulation plus a hand/arm electrical stimulation device can improve how well your stroke-affected arm and hand move during therapy tasks. You would take part in screening and then receive these combined rehab approaches to see if motor control improves.
