The Effect of Pain Neuroscience Education on Patients With Arthroscopic Rotator Cuff Repair

Not Applicable

Completed

• Conditions: Rotator Cuff Injuries; Kinesiophobia; Pain, Postoperative
• Interventions: Other: Pain neuroscience education; Behavioral: Rotator cuff repair rehabilitation

• Registration Number: NCT04705311
• Lead Sponsor: Sahmyook University

Brief Summary

During the rehabilitation process after rotator cuff repair surgery, patients suffer from increased pain and discomfort due to dysfunction. Pain neuroscience education, a more modern educational method, has been reported to be effective in controlling pain by reducing the fear of movement based on an understanding of neurophysiology.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Pain intensity	Change in pain intensity from baseline to weeks 2, 4, and 6	A numeric pain rating scale (NPRS) consisting of 11 points in total from 0 points (no pain) to 10 points (the most severe pain imaginable) is used. The lower the score, the less the pain.
