Study Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to study the efficacy of repetitive peripheral magnetic stimulation (rPMS) on shoulder subluxation in subacute stroke patients. The main questions it aims to answer are Could rPMS reduce shoulder subluxation and improve upper-limb motor recovery in subacute stroke patients?

Researchers will compare real rPMS to sham rPMS to see if rPMS works to improve shoulder subluxation and upper-limb motor recovery in subacute stroke patients.

Participants will:

  • Get real rPMS or sham rPMS for 20 minutes, 5 days a week for 2 weeks

  • Get conventional rehabilitation program 5 days a week for 2 weeks

  • Follow-up at 2-, 4-, 8- and 12-weeks after first day of treatment

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Subacute phase (seven days to six months) and first time of stroke patients

  • Intact skin on the hemiparetic arm

Exclusion

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Patients with contraindication for magnetic stimulation; cardiac pacemakers,magnetic materials near the intended stimulation site

  • Patients with pregnancy

  • Patients with severe aphasia or severe cognitive impairment

  • Patients with previous shoulder pathology or limit shoulder function before stroke

  • Patients with unstable vital signs
