Ultrasound findings and pain in stroke patients with shoulder pain
Part of Brain & nervous system, Pain clinical trials.
This study uses ultrasound to look at the shoulder on the side affected by stroke and see how it relates to pain. It may help understand why shoulder pain happens after a stroke.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 75 years old
- You had a stroke between 2 weeks and 6 months ago
- You have shoulder pain on the side of your body affected by the stroke
- You can complete a simple thinking and memory test with a good score

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study compares two non-invasive treatments—low-level laser therapy and electrical nerve stimulation—to see which works better for relieving moderate to severe shoulder pain in people who have had a stroke. If you have had a stroke in the last 2 weeks to 6 months and have shoulder pain, this trial may be an option for you.
This trial tests a treatment called suprascapular radiofrequency ablation (a targeted heat procedure) to help relieve shoulder pain after a stroke. It is for people who have had a stroke at least 3 months ago and still have severe shoulder pain.
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 study tests whether gentle vibration applied to shoulder muscles can reduce pain in people who had a stroke. Shoulder pain is common after stroke and can limit recovery, so this treatment might help you regain more movement and comfort.
This study tests whether a nerve block (freezing a nerve near the shoulder) combined with joint position testing can reduce shoulder pain and improve movement in people who have had a stroke.
This trial compares two ways to deliver a shoulder nerve block to relieve long-lasting shoulder pain after stroke: one guided by ultrasound and one without. It may help if your stroke-related shoulder pain has lasted at least a few months and you may benefit from a targeted pain-relief injection.
