Abstract

Stroke is a neurological syndrome caused by the blockage, narrowing, or rupture of blood vessels supplying the brain, leading to a lack of blood flow to the affected tissue, which may result in the death of brain cells. This can lead to a loss of function in the organs of the body that are controlled by that part of the brain. One of the complications that may follow is pain after experiencing a stroke.

Post Stroke Pain is a type of pain caused by abnormal functioning of the nervous system and pain resulting from tissue injury. There are two methods for managing pain: one is medication management, which includes antidepressants, anticonvulsants, muscle relaxants, benzodiazepines, and botulinum toxin. The other is non-medication management, which includes acupuncture, traditional Thai or alternative massage, hot or cold compresses, electrical stimulation, and shoulder support with tape.

The academic article aims to understand the pain symptoms following a stroke and the management of these symptoms to enhance and promote the quality of life for stroke patients. The article discusses self-management strategies as well as methods that involve collaboration with healthcare professionals, resulting in improved quality of life for those affected by stroke.
