Ultrasound findings and pain in stroke patients with shoulder pain
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, 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.

- You are between 18 and 75 years old

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 study tests whether gentle vibration applied to the shoulder can reduce pain after a stroke. If you have ongoing shoulder pain on your stroke-affected side, this treatment might help improve your comfort and movement.
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.
This study uses ultrasound to check for hidden shoulder problems in people recovering from a hand injury. It may help understand if hand trauma affects the shoulder even when you don't notice it.
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.
