Abstract
BACKGROUND
Post-stroke shoulder pain is a relatively common complication in stroke patients, with an incidence of 16% to 84% and poor outcomes with anti-inflammatory or sedative medications. This study will evaluate the results of a randomized controlled trial to determine the effectiveness and safety of Tuina in the treatment of post-stroke shoulder pain.
METHODS
The Chinese and English search strategies were used to search China National Knowledge Infrastructure, Chinese Scientific Journal Database, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, EMBASE, MEDLINE, PubMed, Wanfang Database, and Web of Science were used to search seven databases. All eligible studies published on or before September 15, 2022, will be selected. To improve the validity of this study, only clinical randomized controlled trials related to the use of Tuina for post-stroke shoulder pain will be included. The screening will be performed by 2 independent reviewers and data synthesis, bias analysis, subgroup analysis, and meta-analysis will be performed using RevMan (V.5.4) software.
RESULTS
The study will provide a high-quality evaluation of the effectiveness and safety of Tuina in the treatment of post-stroke shoulder pain.
CONCLUSION
This systematic review will provide evidence to determine whether Tuina is an effective and safe intervention for treating patients with post-stroke shoulder pain.PROSPERO registration number: CRD42022360401.
