description Stroke is one of the most common causes of long-term disability in adults. Prevalence of hemiplegic shoulder pain; it is approximately 22-23% in the general population who have had a stroke. It has been evaluated as approximately 54-55% in rehabilitated stroke patients. One of the aims of rehabilitation in the management of stroke patients is to determine the etiology of shoulder pain, to increase functionality and pain control with correct diagnosis and effective intervention. In the literature on the management of hemiplegic shoulder pain, publications on injections and complementary medicine methods have been increasing rapidly. In current meta-analyses, suprascapular nerve injections are recommended for the management of acute hemilegic shoulder pain and increasing the range of motion of the joint. It has been reported that pain and joint range of motion improve with botulinum toxin injections and this effect persists in the long term. Studies on acupuncture, dry needling, and neuromuscular taping, which are complementary medicine methods, have been conducted in patients with hemiplegic shoulder pain. This review covers the epidemiology and diagnostic methods of shoulder pain in stroke patients and the approach to hemiplegic shoulder pain in the light of current literature.
