Investigation of the Effect of Central Sensitization Symptom Severity on Steroid Injection Results in Shoulder Pain

Turkey (Türkiye)44 participantsStarted 2023-03-01

Plain-language summary

The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of the presence and severity of pre-treatment central sensitization on the results of subacromial/ intra-articular shoulder injection in patients with rotator cuff lesion/subacromial impingement. The hypothesis of the study is that the treatment response will decrease in patients with pre-injection central sensitization. There are many studies investigating the frequency of central sensitization in various shoulder pathologies. However, the effect of this condition, which is likely to be associated with chronic pain in these patients, on treatment response is unknown. The effect on the results of shoulder injection, one of the most common procedures in physical therapy practice, will be investigated.
