Hemiplegic Shoulder Pain Reduces Quality of Life After Acute Stroke: A Prospective Population-Based Study
Conclusion: Hemiplegic shoulder pain reduces health-related quality of life at 12 months. More effort should be directed towards screening and management of this frequent complication of stroke.

Interventions for treating urinary incontinence after stroke in adults.
CONCLUSIONS: There is insufficient evidence to guide continence care of adults in the rehabilitative phase after stroke. As few trials tested the same intervention, conclusions are drawn from few, usually small, trials. CIs were wide, making it difficult to ascertain if there were clinically important differences. Only four trials had adequate allocation concealment and many were limited by poor reporting, making it impossible to judge the extent to which they were prone to bias. More appropriately powered, multicentre trials of interventions are required to provide robust evidence for interventions to improve urinary inco...

Ischemic Stroke Management: Posthospitalization and Transition of Care
Am Fam Physician. 2023 Jul;108(1):70-77.ABSTRACTIschemic stroke is a major cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Ischemic stroke and transient ischemic attack exist on a continuum of the same disease process. Ischemic stroke is common, and more than 85% of stroke risk is attributed to modifiable risk factors. The initial management of acute stroke is usually performed in the emergency department and hospital settings. Family physicians have a key role in follow-up, ensuring that a complete diagnostic evaluation has been performed, addressing modifiable risk factors, facilitating rehabilitation, and managing chronic s...

Pain in stroke patients: characteristics and impact on the rehabilitation treatment. A multicenter cross-sectional study.
CONCLUSIONS: The results from this multicenter study showed that in about ΒΌ of the patients, pain negatively influenced the rehabilitation program delaying the recovery and likely increasing the cost of rehabilitation.
CLINICAL REHABILITATION IMPACT: Clinicians should pay more attention to pain, especially neuropathic pain, in post--stroke patients. Tailored pharmacological therapy, to treat and prevent pain, might improve patients' compliance during the rehabilitation process.

Presence of decreased Intraepidermal Nerve Fiber Density consistent with Small Fiber Neuropathy in Patients with Central Post-Stroke Pain (P1.050)
CONCLUSIONS: We have demonstrated evidence of decreased ENFD in a small series of patients with CPSP. These findings do not imply causality; however, they do bring up several important questions for further consideration. Does the central nervous system injury associated with stroke result in small fiber neuropathy in certain patients? Are patients with asymptomatic, previously undiagnosed small fiber neuropathy at increased risk for developing CPSP following a stroke? Do these findings have any implication for treatment? Further studies including prospective analyses are necessary to better understand these findings for b...

Constraint-induced movement therapy for upper extremities in people with stroke.
CONCLUSIONS: CIMT is a multi-faceted intervention where restriction of the less affected limb is accompanied by increased exercise tailored to the person's capacity. We found that CIMT was associated with limited improvements in motor impairment and motor function, but that these benefits did not convincingly reduce disability. This differs from the result of our previous meta-analysis where there was a suggestion that CIMT might be superior to traditional rehabilitation. Information about the long-term effects of CIMT is scarce. Further trials studying the relationship between participant characteristics and improved outc...

Palliative Care is Underutilized in Ischemic Stroke Patients with Poor Functional Outcome (P6.089)
Conclusions:Our observations suggest that PC may be underutilized in ischemic stroke patients, particularly in those who may benefit from it the most. PC has great potential to diminish suffering through physical and psychological symptom management. Providers should at least consider PC consults for hospitalized stroke patients.Disclosure: Dr. Gropen has nothing to disclose. Dr. Sisson has nothing to disclose.

Demystifying post-stroke pain: from etiology to treatment
Publication date: Available online 16 June 2016 Source:PM&R Author(s): Andrew K. Treister, Maya N. Hatch, Steven C. Cramer, Eric Y. Chang Pain following stroke is commonly reported but often incompletely managed, which prevents optimal recovery. This is in part due to the esoteric nature of post-stroke pain and its limited presence in current discussions of stroke management. The major specific afflictions that affect patients with stroke who develop pain include central post-stroke pain (CPSP), complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS), and pain associated with spasticity and shoulder subluxation. Each disorder ...

Is higher patient satisfaction associated with better stroke outcomes?
CONCLUSIONS: Global patient satisfaction was positively associated with the quality of stroke care; however, improvements in patient satisfaction were linked to higher stroke care costs. In addition, patient satisfaction with discharge information was linked to worse outcomes. As a result, patient satisfaction should be used with caution as a quality indicator for stroke care.

Passive accessory joint mobilization in the multimodal management of chronic dysesthesia following thalamic stroke.
CONCLUSION: Manual therapy may be a beneficial intervention in management of thalamic stroke-related dysesthesia. Implications for Rehabilitation While pain is common following thalamic stroke, patients may present with chronic paresthesia or dysesthesia, often in a hemisensory distribution. Passive movement may promote inhibition of hyperexcitable cortical pathways, which may diminish aberrant sensations. Passive oscillatory manual therapy may be an effective way to treat sensory disturbances such as paresthesias or dysesthesia.
