"I will try anything" the experience of working age stroke survivors living with chronic post-stroke pain: an interpretative phenomenological analysis

CONCLUSIONS: The findings suggest the need for further education on post-stroke pain for healthcare professionals, the consideration of pain in post-stroke assessments, the need for clear differential pain diagnoses and the provision of accurate information to patients. Research is needed to establish non-pharmacological evidence-based treatment approaches, such as pain management programmes, peer support and psychological interventions.PMID:38059370 | DOI:10.1080/09638288.2023.2288688
