简要总结
The main aim of the study was to investigate the effects of transcranial laser stimulation together with neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) in post-stroke patients.
详细描述
Post-stroke sequelae includes loss functions, such as cognitive and sensory-motor which lead to emotional and social problems, reducing quality of life and well-being. The main aim of the study was to investigate the effects of transcranial laser stimulation together with neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) in post-stroke patients. The clinical trial showed improvement of cognitive function, pain relief, greater manual dexterity, enhancement of physical and social-emotional health which lead to better quality of life and well-being. There was also increased temperature in the treated regions with laser and NMES. Therefore, transcranial laser stimulation associated with NMES can be an important therapeutic resource for rehabilitation after stroke.

结局指标
主要结局
Inertial Sensor
时间窗: 3 months
Angular measurement of the upper and lower limbs using an inertial sensor.
Cognitive status
时间窗: 3 months
Mini-Mental State Examination: It comprises 11-question to evaluated 5 areas of cognitive function: orientation, registration, attention and calculation, memory, and language. MMSE scores range between 0 and 30, with higher scores reflecting better performance
Subjective pain scale
时间窗: 3 months
Visual Analogue Scales (VAS) of pain intensity: A continuous scale comprised of a horizontal line with 10 cm in length without numeric value was used. The patients were instructed to make a mark with a pen at any point on the line between 2 verbal descriptors, one for each symptom extreme \["No pain" (0) and "as bad as it could be" or "worst imaginable pain\]. A ruler was used to measure distance to determine a score.
