“…It has also been shown that quality of life is very poor in patients that have a combination of different types of pain (27). In some studies (14,28,29), it has been reported that there is no significant relationship in health-related quality of life between stroke survivors with chronic pain and those without chronic pain. This report is different from the results of the present study where a significant relationship was observed in healthrelated quality of life between stroke survivors with and without chronic pain.…”

Background: Chronic pain is one of the most troublesome sequelae of stroke. The correlation between post-stroke pain and patients' quality of life has not been extensively studied. Objectives: The purpose of this study was to investigate certain profiles of post-stroke chronic pain and evaluate its correlation with health-related quality of life. Methods: The study involved 118 participants with stroke comprising 72 (61.0%) males and 46 (39.0%) females. A convenience sampling technique was used to recruit the subjects for the study. Socio-demographic data of the participants were taken. Data on chronic pain and health-related quality of life (HRQoL) were collected using the brief pain inventory (BPI) and short form health survey (SF-36), respectively. Independent t-test was used to compare HRQoL between participants with and without chronic pain. The correlation of chronic pain with HRQoL was investigated using Spearman's correlation coefficient. The level of significance was

“…The reported prevalence of PSP varies, depending on several factors such as study design, definition and classification of pain and characteristics of the participants enrolled in the studies. According to a previous survey, PSP was disclosed by 49.3% of chronic post-stroke patients [1][2][3]. Symptoms in the upper extremity of the affected side in post-stroke patients often have more than one etiology.…”

Upper Limb Pain and Paresthesia in a Post-Stroke Patient Treated with Ultrasound-Guided Electrical Twitch-Obtaining Intramuscular Stimulation (ETOIMS) of Scalene Muscles

Highlights• Disputed thoracic outlet syndrome (TOS) can be one of the possible causes of post-stroke pain.• Ultrasound-guided electrical twitch-obtaining intramuscular stimulation can be used as a safe and minimally invasive technique for the treatment of the disputed TOS.• Large-scale randomized controlled studies are needed to confirm its therapeutic efficacy. ABSTRACTIn post-stroke patients, the pain or paresthesia of the affected limb is common. These symptoms may be caused by a variety of pathologic conditions. Considering the debilitating effects of the pain, it is important to determine the exact cause and manage appropriately. A 41-year-old woman who had experienced a hemorrhagic lesion in the right basal ganglia and corona radiata 4 months previously presented with an irritating tingling sensation in her left upper extremity. She failed to respond to a number of treatment options including medications and physical agent modalities. Following a diagnosis of disputed thoracic outlet syndrome (TOS) caused by scalene muscle dysfunctions, she received ultrasoundguided electrical twitch-obtaining intramuscular stimulation (ETOIMS) which significantly alleviated the pain. This case suggests that the disputed TOS should be considered as one of the possible causes of post-stroke pain, and that detailed history-taking and physical examination, as well as imaging or electrophysiological studies, might be required for accurate diagnosis. Furthermore, ultrasound-guided ETOIMS can be used as a safe and minimally invasive technique for the treatment of the disputed TOS with fewer systemic and local side effects.

E.V. KOSTENKO, MD, Pirogov Russian National Research Medical University, Moscow, Moscow Centre for Research and Practice in Medical Rehabilitation, Restorative and Sports Medicine of Moscow Healthcare Department POST-STROKE PAIN SYNDROMES: CLINICAL ASPECTS, DIAGNOSTIC CRITERIA, FEATURES OF THERAPY AND REHABILITATION MEASURESThe article is devoted to the topical problem of post-stroke pain syndromes, which are a frequent complication after a stroke. Pain after a stroke is associated with psychoemotional disorders, cognitive dysfunction, dysfunction, impaired quality of life and limited opportunities for medical rehabilitation. The review of clinical aspects, risk factors of development of post-stroke pain, features of therapy and rehabilitation measures of the most common pain syndromes after a stroke is presented. The data of own observation of 1317 patients who have suffered a stroke are given. The effectiveness of lornoxicam in the complex program of medical rehabilitation of stroke patients with myofascial pain syndrome of lumbar localization and pain in the shoulder was demonstrated. Conclusions: In order to improve the effectiveness of the rehabilitation process, optimize the quality of life and function after a stroke, it must be taken into account that the pain is a frequent complication after a stroke and identify patients at high risk of its development. Timely and adequate therapy of PBS with the inclusion of effective and safe NSAIDs in rehabilitation programs contributes to the improvement of functional outcomes after a cerebral stroke.
