Conditions

Kinesiophobia, Pain, Postoperative, Rotator Cuff Injuries

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.

Interventions

OTHERPain neuroscience education

Neurophysiological education of pain allows patients to explore a wider contribution to pain through the knowledge that pain is often an unreliable indicator of the extent or extent of tissue damage. This aims at reconceptualization from biomedical or structural models to actual biological psychosocial pain models.

BEHAVIORALRotator cuff repair rehabilitation

Postoperative rehabilitation programs include thermal therapy, electrical therapy, manual therapy, and therapeutic exercise.

MeasureTime frameDescription
Pain intensityChange in pain intensity from baseline to weeks 2, 4, and 6A 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.
