Deficient Pain Modulation in Patients with Chronic Hemiplegic Shoulder Pain
ConclusionsThe results suggest that HSP is associated with a lack of pain adaptation, characteristic not only of the painful shoulder but also of the affected side. Although we cannot determine whether lack of pain adaptation precedes the HSP or results from it, interventions that enhance descending pain inhibition may improve management and prevent HSP chronification.
