Clinical Trial Summary

Effects of TENS and Interference on Pain, Functional Status and Range of Motion in Shoulder Pain in Stroke Patients

Clinical Trial Description

Hemiplegic shoulder pain treatment methods are, analgesics, local steroid injection, physical therapy modalities and exercise. There are publications about the use of TENS and interferential currents (IFC) in the treatment of hemiplegia related shoulder pain and their effectiveness. However when we look at the literature, we did not find a study that evaluated the efficacy of TENS and IFC in hemiplegic shoulder pain. For this reason, in this study, we aimed to determine the effects of these analgesic treatment modalities on the patient's pain, functional status and shoulder range of motion (ROM) in these patients. 60 stroke patients with shoulder pain randomized to four treatment groups. 15 patients in Group 1 were given TENS treatment to the shoulder area for 25 minutes by conventional method ( 20 sessions, 5 times a week), then, a classical stroke rehabilitation program was applied under the guidance of a physiotherapist.. 15 patients in Group 2 were given shamTENS treatment to the shoulder area for 25 minutes ( 20 sessions, 5 times a week), then, a classical stroke rehabilitation program was applied under the guidance of a physiotherapist.15 patients in Group 3 were given 100 Hz IFC treatment to the shoulder area for 25 minutes ( 20 sessions, 5 times a week), then, a classical stroke rehabilitation program was applied under the guidance of a physiotherapist. 15 patients in Group 4 were given shamIFC treatment to the shoulder area for 25 minutes ( 20 sessions, 5 times a week), then, a classical stroke rehabilitation program was applied under the guidance of a physiotherapist. ;
