Biopsychosocial Influence on Shoulder Pain (BISP)
Biopsychosocial Influence on Shoulder Pain: a Randomized, Pre-clinical Trial
Chronic shoulder pain is a common, costly, and disabling problem for society. The identification of factors predictive of the development of chronic shoulder pain is necessary to develop innovative and effective treatments to reduce the societal impact of shoulder disorders. In previous work the investigators identified a genetic and psychological subgroup that robustly predicted heightened shoulder pain responses in a pre-clinical cohort and poor 12 month shoulder pain recovery rates in a clinical surgical cohort. In this follow-up study the investigator proposes to test how interventions tailored to the high risk subgroup affect pain responses in a pre-clinical cohort.
The optimal theorized match for the identified high-risk subgroup is a combination of personalized pharmaceutical and education interventions. This combined personalized intervention versus a placebo pharmaceutical and general education intervention group is the primary comparison of interest. Also, an evaluation of the individual effect of personalized pharmaceutical and educational interventions will be part of the study. Such comparisons will provide important information on what the active portion of the combined personalized intervention may be.

Arms and Interventions
Participant Group / Arm |
Intervention / Treatment |
---|---|
Experimental: Personalized Pharmaceutical and Education
This group will have propranolol (Propranolol LA) 60 mg administered orally and receive the pain processing education modules as the combined intervention for this arm.
|
Long-acting propranolol (Propranolol LA) 60 mg to be administered orally daily for Days 1 (before exercise induced muscle injury) and Days 2-4 following exercise induced muscle injury.
Other Names:
Pain processing education modules will be administered Days 2-4 (after exercised induced muscle injury) following exercise enhance injury with the goal of better understanding of pain processing and psycho-education.
This information will encourage shoulder activation by: a) reducing the threat of muscle injury; b) encouraging normal use of the shoulder and arm; and c) addressing specific concerns expressed by the subject (e.g.
pain with shoulder motion is a sign of re-injury).
This education component will be devoid of detailed information on shoulder anatomy, movement, and injury that characterizes the Shoulder Anatomy Education modules.
These education modules will be scripted and structured so they are provided in a standardized manner for all subjects.
Other Names:
|
Placebo Comparator: Placebo Pharmaceutical, General Education
This group will have the placebo pharmaceutical administered orally and receive general shoulder anatomy education modules as the interventions for this arm.
|
Placebo capsules will be prepared by the University of Florida Investigational Drug Service to be visually indistinguishable from the active medication and delivered orally.
Placebo administration will be done in the same fashion as propranolol - administered on Days 1 (before exercise induced muscle injury) and the Days 2-4 after the exercise induced muscle injury.
Other Names:
Shoulder anatomy education modules will be administered Days 2-4 (after exercised induced muscle injury) following exercise enhance injury with the goal of participant understanding shoulder anatomy and injury while reviewing: a) structure and arthrokinematics of the shoulder joint; b) muscle anatomy of the shoulder with emphasis on the rotator cuff; and c) potential shoulder pain generators from the exercise-induced injury.
This education component will be devoid of information related to pain signaling and cognitive restructuring that characterizes Pain Processing Education modules.
These education modules will be scripted and structured so they are provided in a standardized manner for all subjects.

What is the study measuring?
Primary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Number of Participants Who Met the Recovery Criterion for Shoulder Pain Intensity
Time Frame: Approximately 6 days
|
The outcome has a range between 0 and 1, the higher scores mean a better outcome.
Successful recovery was determined based on meeting the recovery criterion for shoulder pain intensity by at least 6 days.
Specifically, recovery (Yes or No) was defined using Brief Pain Inventory (BPI) ratings as a current pain intensity rating of 0/10 and a worst pain intensity rating of less than 2/10.
|
Approximately 6 days
|
Secondary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder, and Hand Questionnaire (DASH)
Time Frame: Daily until recovery criterion met, approximately 5-15 days
|
The abridged version of the DASH (the QuickDASH) which consists of 11 functional items, with total scores ranging from 0 (not disability) to 100 (complete disability) will be used to assess upper-extremity disability.
The primary outcome will be the highest DASH score recorded during the pain intensity recovery period.
|
Daily until recovery criterion met, approximately 5-15 days
|
Brief Pain Inventory (BPI) for Pain Duration
Time Frame: Daily until recovery criterion met, approximately 5-15 days
|
The Brief Pain Inventory (BPI) consists of rating pain intensity on an 11-point numerical rating scale ranging from 0 (no pain) to 10 (worst pain intensity imaginable).
BPI will be recorded daily and the recovery criterion used for this study will be a BPI rating of current pain 0/10 and worst pain rating of less than 2/10.
The pain duration is number of days from the date of induced pain to date of recovery.
The longer the duration means a worse outcome.
|
Daily until recovery criterion met, approximately 5-15 days
|
Brief Pain Inventory (BPI) for Worst Shoulder Pain Intensity (Highest Daily Pain Intensity Rating) Recorded During Recovery.
Time Frame: Day 2 value of the worst pain intensity is reported
|
The Brief Pain Inventory (BPI) which consists of rating pain intensity on an 11-point numerical rating scale ranging from 0 (no pain) to 10 (worst pain intensity imaginable).
Participants will rate their current, best, and worst pain intensity on the BPI.
This measure will be recorded daily through study completion, an average of 5 days.
The worst pain intensity rating at Day 2 (when participants usually had the Peak Shoulder Pain Intensity) is reported.
|
Day 2 value of the worst pain intensity is reported
