Vibration Therapy for Shoulder Pain After Stroke
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation, Pain clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are at least 18 years old
- You had a stroke (ischemic or hemorrhagic) confirmed by CT or MRI scan
- It has been at least 6 months since your stroke
- You have shoulder pain on the side affected by the stroke, rated 4 or higher on a pain scale
- You can understand study instructions and report your pain level reliably
- You do not have other shoulder problems (like rotator cuff tears or arthritis) unrelated to your stroke

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests whether combining task-oriented exercises with focal vibration (gentle vibrating stimulation) can help improve arm and hand function and feeling in people who've had a stroke. The vibration aims to help your brain better sense where your hand is and what it's touching.
This study tests whether wearing small vibrating devices on your arm can help improve movement and function in the arm weakened by stroke. The vibrations may help retrain your brain and muscles to work together better during the recovery period.
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 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 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.
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.
