Sugar water shots tested to ease stroke Survivors' shoulder pain

NCT ID NCT06988228

Summary

This study tested whether injections of a 15% dextrose (sugar) solution could help reduce shoulder pain and improve movement in people who have had a stroke. Forty stroke survivors with shoulder pain received either the dextrose injections or placebo (saltwater) injections, along with standard exercise therapy. Researchers measured changes in pain levels and shoulder mobility over three months to see if the dextrose treatment worked better.
