Objective: To investigate the effect of prolotherapy on pain and shoulder range of motion in stroke patients with hemiplegic shoulder pain due to rotator cuff tendinopathy. Methods: The data of 10 patients (mean age, 64.2±11.6 years) who had a history stroke of more than six months and underwent prolotherapy treatment were collected retrospectively. The treatment included 3 sessions of dextrose prolotherapy injections applied to rotator cuff tendon. Visual analogue scale pain scores and shoulder range of motions measured at baseline and two weeks later after end of the treatment were assessed. Results: Visual analogue scale shoulder pain scores of the patients decreased from 8.2±1.1 at baseline to 4.8±1.9 after prolotherapy (p=0.030). The degrees of shoulder flexion and abduction increased significantly after the treatment (p
