Clinical Trial: Quantifying Myofascial Dysfunction in Post-Stroke Pain
Study Status: Completed
Recruit Status: RECRUITING
Condition: Myofascial Dysfunction
Study Type: OBSERVATIONAL
Official Title: Developing Quantitative Imaging and Other Relevant Biomarkers of Myofascial Tissues for Clinical Pain Management
Brief Summary:
The purpose of this study is to quantify the extent of GlycosAminoGlycan/Hyaluronic Acid (GAG/HA) accumulation using T1rho (T1?) MRI in the paretic versus non-paretic shoulder rotator muscles, and correlate the T1? Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) measurements with US echo texture measurements to develop a clinic-friendly tool to infer the extent of HA accumulation; and to distinguish between latent versus active Post Stroke Shoulder Pain (PSSP) using ultrasound (US) shear strain mapping of the same…
