Post-stroke Upper Limb Spasticity Clinical Trial
Official title:
A Randomized Controlled Trial to Evaluate a Comprehensive Protocol With Four Therapeutic Modalities for the Treatment of Upper Limb Spasticity in Post-stroke Hemiplegic Patients
The general objective of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of the comprehensive protocol in improving post-stroke upper limb spasticity. The specific objectives were to evaluate pain improvement and changes in quality of life and functional capacity in patients who were subjected to the comprehensive protocol compared with those in the patients who underwent sham interventions.
Background: Managing post-stroke upper limb spasticity is a major challenge in the rehabilitation field. The objective of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of a comprehensive treatment protocol with four therapeutic modalities in the recovery of patients with chronic stroke by evaluating clinical, neurological and functional outcomes. Methodology: Thirty-two subjects diagnosed with a stroke at least six months prior to the study were randomized to receive ten sessions of either the treatment protocol or a sham intervention. The treatment protocol consisted of transcranial low-frequency electrical stimulation using subcutaneous needles over the scalp, paraspinous blocks, spastic muscle needling and functional electrical stimulation. Spasticity, range of motion, pain, functionality and quality of life were evaluated. ;
