Pain sensitivity before rotator cuff surgery and recovery
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
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.
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 an MRI
- You are scheduled for arthroscopic rotator cuff repair surgery
- You can understand and fill out questionnaires in Turkish (or with help)
- You have not had surgery on the same shoulder before

This trial compares starting physical therapy soon after rotator cuff surgery versus waiting longer. It aims to see which approach helps you recover better.
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 stress before surgery might affect recovery in people having rotator cuff surgery. You may be able to join if this is your first surgery for a torn rotator cuff and you don't have certain other health problems.
This study compares two types of anesthesia (numbing medicine) for rotator cuff repair surgery. It will help find which method works better for pain control and recovery.
This trial tests a mix of pain medicines (multimodal regimen) to see if it reduces the need for strong narcotics after arthroscopic rotator cuff repair. If you have a torn rotator cuff that hasn't healed with other treatments and you are scheduled for surgery, you may be able to join.
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.
