Nerve block may ease shoulder pain and improve movement in stroke survivors
NCT ID NCT07346755
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether a suprascapular nerve block (a numbing injection) plus physical therapy can improve shoulder joint awareness and reduce pain in stroke survivors with hemiplegic shoulder pain. Fourteen participants will be randomly assigned to receive either the nerve block followed by physical therapy or physical therapy alone. The goal is to see if the nerve block helps with movement sense, pain, and quality of life.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
suprascapular nerve block (injection of lidocaine)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could point toward a better way to manage shoulder pain and improve movement awareness in stroke survivors.
What could go wrong
This is a very small, early-stage trial with only 14 participants, so results may not apply widely. The nerve block is temporary and not a long-term solution.
