Effective Treatment of Shoulder Subluxation After Stroke With Modified Acupuncture of Biceps Brachii Muscle, Supraspinatus Muscle and Deltoid Muscle
Evaluating the Effectiveness of Treating Shoulder Subluxation After Stroke With Modified Acupuncture of Biceps Brachii Muscle, Supraspinatus Muscle and Deltoid Muscles: a Randomized, Double-blind, Controlled Clinical Trial
Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 9 Aug 2024
Brief summary (registry, in English)
Stroke is the most common emergency in neurology and is also the leading cause of disability, so recovery of movement after stroke is very important. However, a common complication of stroke is shoulder subluxation, which hinders recovery of movement, thereby leading to shoulder pain and increasing the level of disability after stroke. Neuromuscular electrical stimulation affecting the biceps brachii muscle, supraspinatus muscle and deltoid muscles has been proven to be relatively effective in treating shoulder subluxation after stroke. However, this method does not go through the skin, so it is difficult to have a deep impact on the muscles and difficult to cause selective muscle contractions, so the treatment of this disease is still limited. In traditional medicine, modified acupuncture has a mechanism of action similar to neuromuscular electrical stimulation and is a method that passes through the skin, stimulating muscles effectively and selectively. In our study, we wanted to evaluate the effectiveness of treating shoulder subluxation after stroke with modified acupuncture of biceps brachii muscle, supraspinatus muscle and deltoid muscles
