Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria
- •Inclusion criteria were being an adult stroke patient with more than two weeks of shoulder pain and restriction, and not having a history of stroke before the recent incident.
Exclusion Criteria
- •Patients with aphasia, severe cognitive or psychiatric disorders, history of trauma, recent injection (\<3 months) or surgery on the affected joint, complex regional pain syndrome, infections, pregnancy, thrombocytopenia(\<150000 per microliter) or coagulation disorders or severe spasticity of the affected limb(Modified Ashworth Scale \>3) were excluded from the study
Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Visual Analogous Scale
Time Frame: 3 months
Visual Analogous Scales for pain were used as outcome measures. Both resting and activity pain levels were evaluated. Patients were asked to describe their pain, level of disability or treatment satisfaction on a 10 cm long line, with 0 point being "none", and 10 cm point being "highest possible". The proximity of the marked point to the 0 end was measured, and the results were recorded
Secondary Outcomes
- Shoulder ranges of motion(3 months)
- Functional Independence Measure(FIM)(3 months)
