Inclusion Criteria:

  • stroke from 4:8 months
  • age ranging from 45:60 years
  • All the patients were identified with SHS as diagnosed by the Diagnostic criteria for SHS post-stroke 18 and were in stage I of syndrome evolution

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

- Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS) severity score
It is a quantitative index and valid instrument to score and monitor the severity of CRPS and SHS.
- Figure-of-Eight Method of Measuring Hand Size for hand swelling
The figure-of-eight technique utilizing tape measurement for hand size
- Visual analogue scale for pain (VAS-P) for pain assessment
The VAS for pain is a valid and reliable assessment of pain intensity, as a straight horizontal line of fixed length (10 cm) considered the simplest VAS.

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
Background: shoulder-hand syndrome is considered a significant reason for the reduction of upper limb functions after stroke. Purpose: To investigate the influence of Myofascial Trigger Points (MTrPs) release and shockwave therapy on pain and functions of the upper extremity in stroke patients with diabetic neuropathy.
Detailed Description
Methods: two equal groups of thirty stroke patients, divided into, study group: which treated with MTrPs release combined with shockwave therapy and conventional program, while control group: treated with a conventional selected exercise program.

Intervention Name(s)
Myofascial trigger points pressure (MTrP) release
Intervention Description
Myofascial trigger points pressure (MTrP) release technique, the initial step was to recognize and find the trigger points (TP) , and The second step after TP palpation was the MTrP release technique, as follow, by one or both hands, the thumbs or four fingers of the therapist applied a maintained pressure, pushing internal toward the middle
