Understanding pain patterns in shoulder pain syndrome
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Injuries & trauma, Pain clinical trials.
This study looks at whether people with long-lasting shoulder pain also have a condition called nociplastic pain, where the brain and nerves process pain differently. It may help doctors better understand and treat your pain.
