About this trial
Hemiplegic shoulder pain is a frequent complication after stroke and may be associated with structural abnormalities detectable by musculoskeletal ultrasound. This prospective cross-sectional observational study aims to evaluate the relationship between shoulder ultrasound abnormality score and pain severity in patients with post-stroke hemiplegic shoulder pain. Pain severity will be assessed using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS) for rest, movement, and night pain. Shoulder ultrasound will be performed using a standardized scoring system to quantify structural abnormalities. The primary objective is to investigate whether ultrasound abnormality burden is associated with pain severity in different clinical conditions (rest, exercise, and night).
Eligibility criteria
This trial does not accept healthy volunteersQualifiers
Being between 18-75 years of age
Patients with a history of stroke within the last 2 weeks to 6 months
Patients with shoulder pain on the hemiplegic side
Mini-mental status test score >25
Disqualifiers
Motor aphasic patient group
Patients with a history of previous surgery on the hemiplegic shoulder for any reason
Those with other diseases that can explain the shoulder pain

Trial population
Adult patients with stroke and hemiplegic shoulder pain who are admitted to the physical medicine and rehabilitation clinic of Ankara Etlik City Hospital will be included. Eligible patients are between 18 and 75 years of age and within 2 weeks to 6 months after stroke. All participants will undergo clinical assessment and shoulder ultrasound examination at admission.
