Magnetic therapy may ease shoulder dislocation in stroke survivors
NCT ID NCT06678425
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether a device that sends magnetic pulses to shoulder muscles can help stroke patients with a dislocated shoulder. Twenty people in the subacute phase of stroke received either real or fake magnetic stimulation for 20 minutes a day, 5 days a week, for 2 weeks, along with standard rehab. Researchers measured changes in shoulder alignment and arm function over 12 weeks.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
repetitive peripheral magnetic stimulation (rPMS) device
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a non-invasive way to reduce shoulder dislocation and improve arm movement after a stroke.
What could go wrong
This is a very small, early-stage trial with only 20 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The treatment is also short-term (2 weeks) and effects may not last.
