Central Sensitization and Functional Outcomes in Chronic Shoulder Pain

Condition(s) studied

Investigational drug(s) / intervention(s)

Physiotherapy Rehabilitation Program: A standardized 6-week exercise-based physiotherapy and rehabilitation program routinely applied in clinical practice, including patient education, scapular stabilization exercises, strengthening exercises, range of motion exercises, functional training, and home exercise recommendations for individuals with chronic shoulder pain.

Study summary

This prospective observational cohort study aims to investigate whether baseline central sensitization and psychological factors predict functional outcomes following rehabilitation in individuals with chronic shoulder pain. Participants with chronic shoulder pain will receive a standardized 6-week physiotherapy and rehabilitation program routinely applied in the clinic. Assessments will be performed before and after treatment, including pain severity, shoulder function, central sensitization symptoms, and psychological factors such as pain catastrophizing. The findings of this study may contribute to a better understanding of biopsychosocial factors affecting rehabilitation outcomes in chronic shoulder pain and help improve individualized rehabilitation approaches.

Eligibility

Primary outcome measure(s)

• Shoulder Pain and Disability Index (SPADI) — Baseline and 6 weeks after rehabilitation
  The Shoulder Pain and Disability Index (SPADI) is a validated questionnaire used to assess shoulder pain and disability. Total scores range from 0 to 100, with higher scores indicating greater pain and disability.
