Stroke Hemiplegic Shoulder Pain: Ultrasound Findings and VAS (Cross-Sectional) 100 Observational Exercise-Based

Recruiting
Clinical Trial NCT07426965 is an observational study for Hemiplegic Shoulder Pain that is recruiting. It started on 17 February 2026 with plans to enroll 100 participants. Led by Ankara Etlik City Hospital, it is expected to complete by 1 September 2026. The latest data from ClinicalTrials.gov was last updated on 23 February 2026.
Brief Summary
Hemiplegic shoulder pain is a frequent complication after stroke and may be associated with structural abnormalities detectable by musculoskeletal ultrasound. This prospective cross-sectional observational study aims to evaluate the relationship between shoulder ultrasound abnormality score and pain severity in patients with post-stroke hemiplegic shoulder pain. Pain severity will be assessed using the Visual Analog ...Show More
Detailed Description
Hemiplegic shoulder pain is a common complication after stroke and may negatively affect rehabilitation outcomes. Structural abnormalities such as rotator cuff pathology, biceps tendon disorders, bursitis, adhesive capsulitis, and glenohumeral subluxation can be evaluated using musculoskeletal ultrasound.

This prospective cross-sectional observational study aims to investigate the relationship between shoulder ultra...

Post-stroke Hemiplegic Shoulder Pain Patients
Adult stroke patients with hemiplegic shoulder pain who are evaluated at admission. Pain severity is assessed using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS) for rest, movement, and night pain. Shoulder ultrasound is performed using a standardized protocol, and an ultrasound abnormality score is calculated to evaluate the relationship between structural abnormalities and pain severity.
