Poststroke shoulder pain (PSSP), also known as hemiplegic shoulder pain, is a common condition that occurs after a stroke. It can cause physical distress and interfere with daily activities. PSSP can be caused by factors such as impaired motor control and altered nervous activity. Treatment options include analgesia, positioning, range of motion exercises, and physical modalities. Medications such as baclofen, antidepressants, and antiepileptics can be used as first-line treatments. Referral to a specialist may be necessary for severe pain or limited range of motion. A multidisciplinary approach is recommended for optimal treatment outcomes. [Extracted from the article] |
