Clinical Trial: Ultrasound-Guided Pulsed Radiofrequency Versus Phenol Neurolysis for Post-Stroke Hemiplegic Shoulder Pain

U.S., Aug. 8 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07753759) titled 'Ultrasound-Guided Pulsed Radiofrequency Versus Phenol Neurolysis for Post-Stroke Hemiplegic Shoulder Pain' on July 30.

Brief Summary: Post-stroke hemiplegic shoulder pain is a common complication that negatively affects upper limb function and quality of life. This randomized controlled trial aims to compare the efficacy and safety of ultrasound-guided pulsed radiofrequency neuromodulation versus ultrasound-guided phenol neurolysis targeting the suprascapular, axillary, and lateral pectoral nerves in patients with post-stroke hemiplegic shoulder pain. The primary outcome is pain reduction, while secondary outcomes include shoulder fu...
