The long-term effects of hyaluronic acid on hemiplegic shoulder pain and injury in stroke patients: A randomized controlled study.
Article specifications
This clinical study was published in 2018 in Journal of Medicine (Baltimore). (IF 2016: 2.133) by Taiwan specialists. The purpose of this study was to investigate long-term benefits of HA injection in stroke patients with HSP and rotator cuff injury. The stroke patients with HSP and rotator cuff injury were randomized and allocated to the control (n = 9) and experimental (n = 18) groups. The control and the experimental groups received ultrasound-guided subacromial 0.9% sodium chloride and HA injections, respectively.
Result
Subacromial HA injections might provide longer HSP reduction and decrease in hyperemia reactions at the long head of biceps tendon and subscapularis tendon in stroke patients with HSP and tendon injury.
