Nerve sensitivity may predict shoulder surgery success

NCT ID NCT07667257

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study will follow 50 adults having arthroscopic rotator cuff repair to see if a condition called central sensitization—where the nervous system is overly sensitive to pain—affects their recovery. Before surgery and 3 months after, researchers will measure pain and shoulder function using standard questionnaires. The goal is to understand whether central sensitization leads to worse outcomes, which could help tailor care in the future.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

What this could lead to

If this study finds a link, it could help doctors predict which patients might have worse pain or slower recovery after rotator cuff surgery.

What could go wrong

This is a small, early observational study with only 50 people. It cannot prove cause and effect, and results may not apply to everyone.
