Summary

Background: Hemiplegic shoulder pain is one of the most common complications after a stroke. There are many treatment strategies for this complication. High-intensity laser therapy (HILT) is a new treatment option, and we aimed to compare the effectiveness of conventional electrotherapy agents and HILT in this study.

Patients and methods: Participants (N = 42) were randomized into the HILT (n = 21) and TENS+US (n = 21) groups. Group 1 received 3 sessions of HILT per week for 3 weeks in addition to a therapeutic exercise program that performed 5 sessions per week for 3 weeks. Group 2 received conventional physical therapy and a therapeutic exercise program for HSP of 5 sessions per week for 3 weeks. Patients were assessed before and after treatment on the on the 6th week for radiological evaluation with ultrasonography and for clinical parameters with VAS, AMAT, MRS, and FIQ scores.
