Mind over shoulder: study probes why some recover from chronic pain and others Don't
NCT ID NCT07654023
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at how central sensitization (a heightened pain response) and psychological factors like pain catastrophizing influence recovery in people with chronic shoulder pain. Participants will undergo a standard 6-week physiotherapy program, and researchers will measure pain, disability, and related symptoms before and after treatment. The goal is to better understand why some people improve more than others, which could lead to more personalized rehabilitation approaches.
