Summary

This study looked at whether the severity of central sensitization (a condition where the nervous system is overly sensitive to pain) affects how well steroid injections work for people with rotator cuff shoulder pain. Researchers measured pain sensitivity before treatment in 44 adults with confirmed rotator cuff problems. The goal was to see if those with higher central sensitization had worse results from the injection.
