Study Summary

This trial looks at treating shoulder pain after stroke with manual therapy. Adults with a first-time stroke and shoulder pain on the same side will be in the trial for 6 weeks, getting either real or fake therapy.

Who is the study for?
Adults who've had their first stroke within the last 5 years, resulting in shoulder pain on the affected side. They must be over 18 and have had a specific type of stroke (right middle cerebral artery, brainstem, or subcortical). Those with prior shoulder pain, visual neglect issues, inability to consent, severe health conditions, infections needing antibiotics, active cancer or rheumatoid arthritis can't join.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The trial is testing if osteopathic manual treatment (OMT) helps reduce shoulder pain and improve arm function in stroke patients compared to a sham treatment. Participants will receive either real OMT or sham therapy weekly for about 6 weeks to see which is more effective.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since this study involves physical manipulation techniques similar to massage or chiropractic adjustments rather than drugs, side effects may include temporary discomfort at the site of treatment but are generally minimal.
