Summary

This study tests whether a non-invasive treatment called focal vibration therapy can reduce shoulder pain in people who have had a stroke. Sixty chronic stroke survivors with shoulder pain will receive either real vibration or a sham procedure, plus standard rehab. The goal is to see if the vibration helps ease pain and improve shoulder function.

Participants

About 60 people

The number the study aims to enrol. It can still change while the study runs.

Expected to start

Expected to finish

Dec 2026

An estimate. End dates often move.

Lead sponsor

Other sponsor

The registry's catch-all category, for sponsors it does not file as a company, a government agency, or a research network.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: * Age ≥ 18 years * Ischemic or hemorrhagic stroke confirmed by CT or MRI * Chronic post-stroke phase (≥ 6 months from event) * Presence of hemiplegic shoulder pain (NRS ≥ 4) * Preserved cognitive function sufficient to provide informed consent Exclusion Criteria: * Severe cognitive impairment or language deficits (e.g., severe aphasia) that prevent understanding of study procedures or reliable reporting of pain (e.g., inability to complete NRS or questionnaires). * Severe neglect, apraxia, or disorders of consciousness that interfere with participation in rehabilitation or outcome assessments. * Pre-existing shoulder pathology of the affected side unrelated to stroke (e.g., full-thickness rotator cuff tear, advanced glenohumeral osteoarthritis, inflammatory arthritis, prior shoulder surgery). * Fixed shoulder contractures or severe joint deformities limiting passive range of motion and preventing standardized assessment. * Botulinum toxin injections to shoulder upper limb muscles within the last 3-4 months prior to enrollment . * Current treatment with other experimental or non-conventional physical therapies for shoulder pain during the study period.
