Neck nerve issues and shoulder function after rotator cuff repair
Part of Injuries & trauma, Pain clinical trials.
This study looks at how neck-related nerve problems (cervical radiculopathy) affect shoulder function in people who have had rotator cuff repair surgery. It aims to understand if neck issues can slow recovery or make it harder to use your arm normally.
