NCT ID NCT07501416
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Aug 28, 2026 · Updated 4 times
Summary
This study tests if a strong laser treatment, combined with exercise, can reduce shoulder pain and improve movement in people who have had a stroke. About 60 adults with stroke-related shoulder pain will receive either the laser plus exercise or a fake laser plus exercise. The goal is to see if the laser helps more than exercise alone.
