Unmet Needs for Rehabilitative Management in Common Health-Related Problems Negatively Impact the Quality of Life of Community-Dwelling Stroke Survivors
Conclusions: Unmet rehabilitative needs are prevalent among community-dwelling stroke survivors, and the proportion of unmet needs was high among non-physical domains such as anxiety/depression. The number of unmet needs is an independent negative predictor of HRQoL. Systematic approaches to identify unmet needs and provide appropriate rehabilitative management are required in long-term stroke survivors.

Opioids in Post-stroke Pain: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
Conclusions: The limited number of the included studies and their heterogeneity in terms of study design do not support the efficacy of opioids in post-stroke pain and in pain-related outcomes. Large double-blind randomized clinical trials with objective assessment of pain and related symptoms are needed to further investigate this topic.

Early versus late injections of Botulinumtoxin type A in post-stroke spastic movement disorder: A literature review
Toxicon. 2023 May 3:107150. doi: 10.1016/j.toxicon.2023.107150. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTPost-stroke spastic movement disorder (PS-SMD) is one of the main causes of severe disability in the chronic phase after stroke. The prevalence of SMD rises up with time after stroke to more than 28% in the chronic phase, and its secondary complications such as contracture, abnormal postures and/or movement patterns, spasticity-associated pain, also increases with time after stroke when physical and medical management of PS-SMD had been delayed in the early stroke phase. It has been published by several controlled studies that the...

Musculoskeletal and central pain at 1 year post‐stroke: associated factors and impact on quality of life
ConclusionsPain is common 12 months post‐stroke. The factors associated with CPSP and MSP differ, but are both closely associated with fatigue rather than depression. QOL is the poorest in patients with combined pain. Management of pain and fatigue may be important for improving the QOL in stroke patients.

Deep brain stimulation for stroke: Current uses and future directions
Publication date: Available online 12 October 2017 Source:Brain Stimulation Author(s): Gavin J.B. Elias, Andrew A. Namasivayam, Andres M. Lozano Background Survivors of stroke often experience significant disability and impaired quality of life related to ongoing maladaptive responses and persistent neurologic deficits. Novel therapeutic options are urgently needed to augment current approaches. One way to promote recovery and ameliorate symptoms may be to electrically stimulate the surviving brain. Various forms of brain stimulation have been investigated for use in stroke, including deep brain stimulation (DBS). Objecti...

Headaches Attributed to Ischemic Stroke and Transient Ischemic Attack.
CONCLUSION: Headache attributed to ischemic stroke is frequent and usually has a tension-type headache pattern. Its frequency varies according to the stroke's etiology. Further studies are required on pain management, prophylactic treatment, and characteristics of this headache. PMID: 30667047 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

The three-dimensional shoulder pain alignment (3D-SPA) mobilization improves pain-free shoulder range, functional reach and sleep following stroke: a pilot randomized control trial.
CONCLUSIONS: The Three-Dimensional Shoulder Pain Alignment mobilization protocol significantly improved pain-free range of motion, functional reach and pain during sleep in shoulders with moderate/severe post-stroke upper-extremity impairment. Implications for rehabilitation Although three-dimensional clavicular/scapular/humeral rotations are an essential component of normal pain-free shoulder range of motion, current guidelines for treatment of post-stroke shoulder pain only includes uni-dimensional mobilizations for joint alignment and pain management. The Three-Dimensional Shoulder Pain Alignment (3D-SPA) mobilization p...

Prevalence of upper-limb spasticity and its impact on care among nursing home residents with prior stroke.
CONCLUSIONS: A high proportion (70%) of nursing home residents with stroke demonstrated upper-limb spasticity, associated with pain and passive care difficulties. These data suggest there is an unmet need for spasticity management among nursing-home residents. Implications for rehabilitation Upper-limb spasticity is prevalent among nursing home residents with prior stroke; here, observed in 70% of cases. Spasticity was associated with increased pain and more difficult passive limb care in this population. There is an unmet need for spasticity management among nursing home residents with prior stroke. Efforts should be made...

Ischemic Stroke in Young Adults
This article reviews current knowledge on epidemiology, risk factors and causes, diagnostic considerations, management, and prognosis of ischemic stroke in young adults (those 55 years old and younger). RECENT FINDINGS The incidence of ischemic stroke in young adults has been increasing since the 1980s, which has occurred in parallel with increasing prevalence of vascular risk factors and substance abuse among the younger population. Young adults have a considerably wider range of risk factors than older patients, including age-specific factors such as pregnancy/puerperium and oral contraceptive use. Behavioral risk fac...

IJERPH, Vol. 18, Pages 3089: Health-Related Quality of Life and Psychological Features in Post-Stroke Patients with Chronic Pain: A Cross-Sectional Study in the Neuro-Rehabilitation Context of Care
This study aims at exploring disability, health-related quality of life (HrQoL), psychological distress, and psychological features in post-stroke patients with chronic pain. An observational cross-sectional study involving 50 post-stroke patients (25 with chronic pain and 25 without pain) was conducted. The primary outcome was the self-reported level of disability and HrQoL which were both assessed through the Stroke Impact Scale 3.0. Both psychological distress and specific psychological features (i.e., self-efficacy, coping strategies, psychological flexibility, perceived social support) were examined. Post-stroke patie...

Predictive analysis for identifying potentially undiagnosed post-stroke spasticity patients in United Kingdom
Conclusions Using machine learning techniques, additional unrecorded post-stroke spasticity patients were identified, increasing the condition’s prevalence in THIN from 2% to 13%. This work shows the potential for under-reporting of PSS in primary care data, and provides a method for improved identification of cases and control records for future studies. Graphical abstract

Short-term effect of local muscle vibration treatment versus sham therapy on upper limb in chronic post-stroke patients: a randomized controlled trial.
CONCLUSION: Rehabilitation treatment with local muscle high frequency (300 Hz) vibration for 30 minutes, 3 times a week for 4 weeks, could significantly improve muscle strength and decrease muscle tonus, disability and pain in upper limb of hemiplegic post-stroke patients. CLINICAL REHABILITATION IMPACT: Local muscle vibration treatment might be an additional and safe tool in the management of chronic post-stroke patients, granted its high therapeutic efficiency, limited cost and short and repeatable protocol of use.
