This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
After a stroke, many patients develop shoulder pain on the paralyzed side of their body, which can slow recovery. This trial is testing two different physical treatments—low-dose laser therapy and transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS)—to compare which one works better at reducing pain and improving arm function and quality of life.
Shoulder pain after stroke is very common and can make rehabilitation harder and keep patients in the hospital longer. Doctors need better ways to treat this pain, so this study is comparing two promising non-invasive treatments to find out which one helps patients most.

You will be randomly assigned to receive one of three treatments: low-dose laser therapy, electrical nerve stimulation (TENS), or conventional therapy. You will visit the clinic regularly to receive your assigned treatment and have your pain and arm function monitored over several weeks. The research team will also ask you questions about how the treatment affects your daily life and quality of life.
