NCT ID NCT07139665
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study measured shoulder pain, disability, and the space in the shoulder joint in people who had a stroke at least six months ago. Researchers used ultrasound and questionnaires to gather information from 51 participants. The goal was to better understand shoulder problems after a stroke, not to test a new treatment.
