Electrical therapy for shoulder subluxation after stroke
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial tests different types of electrical stimulation (electrotherapy) to help treat a partially dislocated shoulder that can happen after a stroke. The goal is to see which treatment works best to reduce pain and improve shoulder function.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years or older.
- Your stroke must have happened more than 3 months ago.
- Your shoulder must be partially dislocated (confirmed with an ultrasound).
- You must have some movement in your arm and hand (not fully paralyzed).
- You cannot have severe thinking problems (like dementia), or serious vision/hearing issues.
- You must not have a pacemaker or metal implants in your body.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests whether combining electrical stimulation with nerve gliding exercises can improve arm function in people who had a stroke at least 3 months ago. It may help you move your arm better and reduce stiffness.
This trial tests whether combining a specialized movement therapy (SBMT) with electrical nerve stimulation (NMES) can help improve upper arm and hand function in people recovering from stroke. The study focuses on patients 3–6 months after their stroke, when recovery potential is still strong.
This trial tests whether a gentle electrical nerve stimulation treatment (called TENS) can help improve arm and hand function after a recent stroke. If you have some movement on your weaker side, this may help you recover better.
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 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.
This study tests a gentle form of brain stimulation to help improve arm and hand movement after a stroke. It looks at whether this approach can aid recovery in both recent and long-standing stroke survivors.
