Summary

This study tested two treatments for shoulder pain in people who had a stroke: a nerve stimulation technique and physical therapy. About 96 adults with lasting shoulder pain after a stroke took part. The goal was to see if combining both treatments works better than either one alone for long-term pain relief.
