Can we treat common causes of shoulder pain after stroke?
Pain in the shoulder is a common problem after stroke. As well as causing distress through pain and lost sleep, it prevents rehabilitation of the arm and hand. This study will identify ‘who’, ‘when’ and ‘how’ to treat people with painful shoulders after stroke more effectively, and should lead to better outcomes for them.

Developing a patient-centred outcome measure to evaluate the effectiveness of cognitive rehabilitation after stroke

Understanding the nature and impact of long term psychological changes (thinking, mood and fatigue) after stroke
People can experience a range of changes to their mood and thinking after a stroke. While we have information about these changes in the short-term (up to 12 months) after stroke, we don’t know much about the longer term changes. This research aims to find out more about how thinking and mood are affected long-term after stroke.
