Subacromial pain syndrome (SPS) is one of the most common causes of shoulder pain, leading to significant disability and socioeconomic burden. Although percutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (PENS) targeting the suprascapular nerve (SN) has shown positive therapeutic outcomes, individual response to the intervention varies considerably. This study aims to develop a multivariable predictive model to estimate clinical response to SN-targeted PENS in patients with SPS. The model will be built using clinical, psychological, and neural mechanosensitivity variables. The goal is to enhance patient selection and guide personalized treatment strategies.
