Abstract

Background: Shoulder pain is one of the most common complications after stroke. However, information about risk factors and prevalence of it, is not enough. Surveying the association of shoulder pain with diabetes mellitus, hypertriglyceridemia and hypercholesterolemia was the aim of this study.Methods: This cross-sectional study was carried out at clinics affiliated to Shiraz University of Medical Sciences. From 191 referred patients, 152 patients were enrolled. Within a year, once every two months, shoulder pain assessed among them. In addition, diabetes, hypertriglyceridemia, and hypercholesterolemia were assessed in these patients.Finding: Among 152 patients with stroke, 103 patients did not develop shoulder pain and 49 developed it. Among participants with shoulder pain, 41 patients had diabetes mellitus, 10 had hypertriglyceridemia, and 39 had hypercholesterolemia. After analyzing data with logestic regression model, the relationship between diabetes and shoulder pain was significant, but the relationship between shoulder pain and hyperlipidemia was not.Conclusion: Shoulder pain is common after stroke and diabetes is a predictor it.
