# Effects of Hemiplegic Shoulder Pain

**Official Title:** Investigation of Upper Extremity Function, Sleep Quality, and Functional Independence in Patients With Hemiplegic Shoulder Pain

**NCT ID:** [NCT05883475](https://clinicaltrials.gov/study/NCT05883475)

## Key Facts

- **Status:** COMPLETED
- **Study Type:** OBSERVATIONAL
- **Target Enrollment:** 63
- **Lead Sponsor:** Ankara Yildirim Beyazıt University
- **Conditions:** Stroke, Shoulder Pain
- **Start Date:** 2022-06-01
- **Completion Date:** 2022-10-30
- **CT.gov Last Update:** 2023-06-01

## Brief Summary

The purposes of this study is to investigate the differences in upper extremity function, sleep quality, and functional independence between patients with and without hemiplegic shoulder pain (HSP).

HSP is defined as musculoskeletal pain in the affected shoulders of individuals after stroke.Numerous studies have found an association between post-stroke shoulder pain and range of motion, sensory impairment, subluxation, spasticity, and complex regional pain syndrome. HSP is a problem that, starting from mild discomfort, leads to gradual functional impairment, ultimately resulting in increasing disability and decreased independence.In the literature, the relationship between HSP and upper extremity function, functional independence, and sleep quality has not been clarified.

## Eligibility

- **Minimum age:** 18 Years
- **Maximum age:** 90 Years
- **Sex:** ALL
- **Healthy Volunteers:** No

```
Inclusion Criteria:

* Over 18 years old
* Have had a stroke at least three months ago
* Volunteers who can understand or communicate test instructions

Exclusion Criteria:

* Having a history of shoulder surgery
* Having serious shoulder problems before stroke
* Having other neurological conditions
```

## Arms

- **Patients with shoulder pain** — Those who scored above "0" for shoulder pain on the Visual Analog Scale (VAS) were assigned to the group with shoulder pain
- **Patients without shoulder pain** — Those who scored "0" for shoulder pain on the Visual Analog Scale (VAS) were assigned to the group without shoulder pain

## Interventions

- **Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder, and Hand Questionnaire** (OTHER) — Upper limb function was assessed with the Turkish version of the Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder, and Hand Questionnaire (DASH). The questionnaire DASH is a self-report instrument with 30 items. The total score ranges from 0 to 100, with higher scores indicating a worse upper limb function.
- **Arm Motor Ability Test** (OTHER) — The test assesses hemiparetic upper extremity functional tasks.The increase in the scores of both subparameters of the scale, which is composed of the parameters of functional ability and quality of movement, indicates an improvement in the motor functions of the upper limbs.
- **Nine Hole Peg Test** (OTHER) — Fine motor skills of the upper extremities were assessed.The patient was asked to insert the nine sticks in the box on the table into the holes in the other box as quickly as possible and then remove them immediately. As time increases, fine motor skills of the upper extremities decrease
- **Pittsburg Sleep Quality Index** (OTHER) — Sleep quality was assessed using the this test.This scale, which provides a quantitative measure of sleep quality, is a 19-item self-report scale. The total score greater than 5 indicates "poor sleep quality".
- **Functional Independence Measure** (OTHER) — This test assessed functional capacity in activities of daily living.The higher a person's score, the higher the level of independence.

## Primary Outcomes

- **DASH** _(time frame: one hour)_ — Upper limb functions was assessed with DASH, AMAT, and Nine Hole Peg Test.The DASH total score ranges from 0 to 100, with higher scores indicating a worse upper limb function.
- **AMAT** _(time frame: one hour)_ — The increase in the scores of both subparameters of the AMAT scale, which is composed of the parameters of functional ability and quality of movement, indicates an improvement in the motor functions of the upper limbs.
- **Nine Hole Peg Test** _(time frame: one hour)_ — In the Nine hole peg test, fine motor skills of the upper extremities decrease as time goes on.

## Secondary Outcomes

- **Sleep Qaulity** _(time frame: one hour)_
- **Functional Independence** _(time frame: one hour)_
