Conditions

Hemiplegic shoulder pain

Interventions

TMS treatment group:TMS group: The affected deltoid muscle is at 1Hz for 10 seconds, waiting for 1 second
On the opposite side, the M1 area is at 5Hz for 2 seconds, waiting for 8 seconds. After the first 1800 pulse transmission from the suprascapular nerve and somatosensory evoked potential, 10 treatments
Suprascapular nerve radiofrequency group:Radiofrequency group: Using anatomical landmarks and ultrasound guidance to locate the position of the supraspinatus nerve (trapezius muscle, supraspinatus mus
TMS+Suprascapular nerve radiofrequency group:After the first transmission of the suprascapular nerve and somatosensory evoked potential, one session of suprascapular nerve radiofrequency therapy and 1
