Summary

This study looked at whether kinesio taping (a special stretchy tape) plus dry needling (thin needles into tight muscle spots) can help people with shoulder-hand syndrome after a stroke. 84 patients were split into three groups: taping alone, needling alone, or both together, all while doing standard rehab. After 28 days, the combination group showed better pain relief and arm function than either treatment alone.
