Summary

This study looks at whether patients who feel more stressed before shoulder surgery for rotator cuff problems have a harder recovery. Researchers will measure stress levels in 100 adults using a questionnaire before their operation. The goal is to see if high stress is linked to complications like long-term pain or stiffness.

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 stress is linked to worse outcomes, future care could include stress screening or support before surgery.
What could go wrong: This is an observational study with only 100 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. It measures stress but does not test any treatment.
