Peripheral Magnetic Stimulation to Treat Patient With Post-stroke Shoulder-hand Syndrome
Sponsor: National Taiwan University Hospital
Summary
Shoulder-hand syndrome is a common complication following stroke, constituting of excessive pain, swelling, heat, limited range of motion, and trophic change of the affected limbs. It not only has an extensive negative impact on both physical and psychological aspects of a stroke patient's well-being, but also impose burden on the health care system and the patient's family. Despite its relatively high incidence, there is neither well-established treatment protocol, nor high quality evidence for a single effective treatment. The objective of the present study is to investigate the efficacy, including pain, spasticity, and subluxation reduction, muscle strengthening, and shoulder range of motion improvement, of high-intensity peripheral magnetic stimulation generated by the super-inductive system to treat patients with post-stroke shoulder-hand syndrome.
