Abstract

ObjectiveTo investigate the effect of early intervention on shoulder pain in patients with hemiplegia after stroke. MethodsStroke patients were treated with bedside physical therapy on the shoulder 7 d after onset. They were assessed with short-form McGill pain questionnaire and Fugl-Meyer assessment of upper extremity before and 40 d after treatment. ResultsThe score of MPQ in the treatment group was significantly lower than that in the control group, while the score of FMA was significantly higher(P0.01). ConclusionEarly intervention can reduce the pain and improve the function of the shoulder in patients with shoulder pain after stroke.
