NCT ID NCT07353190

First seen Jan 20, 2026 · Last updated May 14, 2026 · Updated 17 times

Summary

This study tests two types of electrical stimulation to relieve shoulder pain in people who have had a stroke. One group gets standard TENS therapy, while the other gets TENS plus an extra muscle-stimulating current (NMES). The goal is to see which approach better reduces pain, improves shoulder movement, and helps with daily activities. About 40 adults who had a stroke within the past year and have moderate shoulder pain will take part.
