Summary

The goal of this clinical study is to evaluate the effectiveness of functional electrical stimulation (FES)-assisted cycling in patients with post-stroke Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS) Type 1. It also aims to assess its effects on pain, edema, functional status, and quality of life. The main questions it aims to answer are:

Does FES-assisted cycling reduce pain levels in patients with CRPS Type 1 after stroke? Does FES-assisted cycling improve functional independence and motor recovery? Does FES-assisted cycling contribute to reductions in edema and improvements in quality of life?

Researchers will compare FES-assisted cycling in addition to conventional rehabilitation with conventional rehabilitation alone to determine whether FES provides additional therapeutic benefits.

Participants will:

Receive conventional rehabilitation treatment consisting of exercises, TENS, contrast bath, and whirlpool therapy Receive FES-assisted cycling (intervention group) or only conventional rehabilitation (control group) for a total of 20 sessions Be evaluated at baseline, at the end of treatment (4th week), and at the 12th week using clinical scales and outcome measures

Conditions

  • Complex Regional Pain Syndrome I of Upper Limb
  • Pain

Interventions

DEVICE

Functional Electrical Stimulation

Although the FES cycling ergometer is a treatment modality used in various patient groups in neurological rehabilitation, no study has been found in the literature evaluating its effectiveness in patients with upper extremity CRPS following stroke. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the effects of FES cycling ergometer, added to a conventional physical therapy and rehabilitation program, on pain, edema, functional status, and quality of life in patients diagnosed with post-stroke upper extremity CRPS Type 1.
