Focused Review Course: Stroke-Stroke Side Effects

Video Transcription

Video Summary

Post-stroke shoulder pain can be caused by various conditions such as complex regional pain syndrome, shoulder subluxation, brachial plexopathy, and more. Treatment options for shoulder pain include medication, injections, and non-pharmacologic interventions like range of motion exercises and transcutaneous electric nerve stimulation. Spasticity is another common side effect of stroke, with upper and lower limb involvement. Treatment for spasticity includes positioning, splints, stretching exercises, and oral medications like baclofen and tizanidine. Other treatment options like chemoneurolysis with phenol or botulinum toxin injections can also be considered. Deep venous thrombosis and bladder and bowel dysfunction are also discussed as common post-stroke complications.
