Other trials that look related to this one.
This study looks at how your body's pain processing before surgery might affect your recovery after rotator cuff repair. If you are having arthroscopic surgery for a torn rotator cuff, researchers want to see if a certain type of pain sensitivity (called central sensitization) is linked to your outcomes three months later.
This trial tests if learning about pain before and after rotator cuff repair helps people recover better. It might help you if you have a medium-sized tear and are planning surgery.
This study looks at how the brain and muscles work, along with mood and pain, in people after rotator cuff surgery for a major tear. It may help researchers understand recovery problems and psychological effects that can happen after surgery.
This study looks at how shoulder problems involving the rotator cuff (a group of muscles and tendons that help move your shoulder) affect you. It aims to understand your shoulder pain and find better ways to help.
This trial tests whether using tendon stem cells during arthroscopic surgery can help heal small to medium-sized rotator cuff tears. It may be an option if you have had shoulder pain or limited function that hasn't improved with non-surgical treatments like physical therapy.
This study looks for unexpected bacteria in the shoulder during repeat rotator cuff surgery. It aims to learn how often these hidden infections happen so doctors can better treat patients.
