Article Synopsis
- Hemiplegic shoulder pain (HSP) is a common issue for stroke patients, and this study compares two treatment methods: transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) and suprascapular nerve block (SSNB).
- In a clinical trial with 24 patients undergoing rehabilitation, pain severity was measured alongside shoulder movement, spasticity, daily living activities, and quality of life.
- Results showed that SSNB significantly reduced pain more than TENS and both treatments improved quality of life after three weeks, though no notable differences in spasticity or daily living improvements were found between the two groups.
