Pain sensitivity and recovery after rotator cuff repair
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study looks at how your nervous system's sensitivity to pain before surgery might affect your recovery after rotator cuff repair. By understanding this, doctors may better tailor pain management for each patient.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 65 years old.
- You have a rotator cuff tear confirmed by a doctor and MRI scan.
- You are planning to have arthroscopic (keyhole) surgery to fix the tear.
- You can read, understand, and fill in questionnaires.
- You have not had surgery on that shoulder before.
- You do not have other shoulder problems like fractures, instability, or severe arthritis that require extra surgery.
