About this study

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

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.

Being tested
Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder, and Hand Questionnaire, Arm Motor Ability Test, Nine Hole Peg Test, Pittsburg Sleep Quality Index, Functional Independence Measure

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder, and Hand QuestionnaireOther

    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 TestOther

    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 TestOther

    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 IndexOther

    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 MeasureOther

    This test assessed functional capacity in activities of daily living.The higher a person's score, the higher the level of independence.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. DASH

    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.

    Measured: one hour

  2. AMAT

    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.

    Measured: one hour

  3. Nine Hole Peg Test

    In the Nine hole peg test, fine motor skills of the upper extremities decrease as time goes on.

    Measured: one hour

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Sleep Qaulity

    Sleep quality was assessed using the Pittsburg Sleep Quality Index (PSQI). The total score ranges from 0 to 21, and a total score greater than 5 indicates "poor sleep quality"

    Measured: one hour

  2. Functional Independence

    The Functional Independence Measure (FIM) assessed functional capacity in activities of daily living. The FIM Consists of 6 parts and analyzes motor and cognitive functions. The higher a person's score, the higher the level of independence.

    Measured: one hour

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Stroke and Shoulder Pain, run by Ankara Yildirim Beyazıt University at 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye).

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 3 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 1 Jun 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye). Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

DASH (time frame: one hour). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 1 Jun 2023.
