Preoperative Central Sensitization and Postoperative Outcomes After Arthroscopic Rotator Cuff Repair (ARCS)

20. června 2026 aktualizováno: Erdal Güngör, Medipol University

Effect of Central Sensitization on Postoperative Clinical Outcomes in Patients Undergoing Arthroscopic Rotator Cuff Repair

This prospective observational study aims to investigate the effect of preoperative central sensitization on postoperative clinical outcomes in patients undergoing arthroscopic rotator cuff repair. Central sensitization, characterized by an increased responsiveness of the central nervous system to pain stimuli, has been associated with persistent pain and poor functional recovery in various musculoskeletal disorders. However, its impact on outcomes following arthroscopic rotator cuff repair has not been fully elucidated.

Adult patients diagnosed with a rotator cuff tear by clinical examination and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and scheduled for arthroscopic repair will be enrolled. Preoperative central sensitization will be assessed using the Central Sensitization Inventory (CSI), while pain intensity and shoulder function will be evaluated using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS) and the Shoulder Pain and Disability Index (SPADI), respectively. Clinical assessments will be performed preoperatively and at postoperative 3 months. The study aims to determine whether preoperative central sensitization is associated with postoperative pain and functional recovery after arthroscopic rotator cuff repair.

Detailní popis

This prospective, single-center, observational study is designed to evaluate the impact of preoperative central sensitization on postoperative clinical outcomes in patients undergoing arthroscopic rotator cuff repair. Rotator cuff tears are among the most common causes of shoulder pain and functional disability, and although arthroscopic repair generally provides satisfactory outcomes, a considerable proportion of patients continue to experience persistent pain and functional limitations after surgery.

Recent evidence suggests that pain perception is influenced not only by structural pathology but also by alterations in central pain processing mechanisms. Central sensitization is characterized by an increased responsiveness of the central nervous system to sensory stimuli and has been associated with greater pain severity, impaired physical function, and poorer quality of life in patients with musculoskeletal disorders. However, the influence of preoperative central sensitization on postoperative recovery following arthroscopic rotator cuff repair remains insufficiently investigated.

Adult patients aged 18-65 years with a rotator cuff tear confirmed by clinical examination and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and scheduled for arthroscopic repair will be consecutively enrolled. Demographic and clinical characteristics, including age, sex, body mass index, symptom duration, dominant side, and affected shoulder, will be recorded. Preoperative central sensitization will be evaluated using the Central Sensitization Inventory (CSI). Pain intensity will be assessed using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS), and shoulder function will be evaluated using the Shoulder Pain and Disability Index (SPADI).

Clinical assessments will be performed at baseline (preoperatively) and at postoperative 3 months. Participants will be classified according to their preoperative CSI scores, with a CSI score of ≥40 considered indicative of central sensitization. Postoperative clinical outcomes will be compared between patients with and without central sensitization. The primary objective is to determine whether preoperative central sensitization is associated with postoperative shoulder function, while secondary objectives include evaluating its relationship with postoperative pain and overall clinical recovery.

Studijní populace

The study population will consist of adult patients aged 18-65 years with a rotator cuff tear confirmed by clinical examination and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) who are scheduled to undergo arthroscopic rotator cuff repair at the Department of Orthopedics and Traumatology of a single tertiary care center. Eligible patients who meet the inclusion criteria and provide written informed consent will be consecutively enrolled. Preoperative and postoperative clinical evaluations, including assessment of central sensitization, pain, and shoulder function, will be performed according to the study protocol.

Primární výstupní opatření

Měření výsledku
Popis opatření
Časové okno
Primary Outcome: Change in SPADI Total Score
Časové okno: Baseline (preoperative) and postoperative 3 months
The primary outcome is the change in the total Shoulder Pain and Disability Index (SPADI) score from baseline to postoperative 3 months. The SPADI assesses shoulder pain and disability and consists of pain and disability subscales. The total score ranges from 0 to 100, with higher scores indicating greater shoulder pain and disability. Lower scores indicate better shoulder function and less pain. The change will be compared according to preoperative central sensitization status.

Popis opatření
Časové okno
Change in Visual Analog Scale (VAS) Pain Score
Časové okno: Baseline (preoperative) and postoperative 3 months
The change in pain intensity assessed using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS). The VAS is scored from 0 to 10, where 0 indicates no pain and 10 indicates the worst imaginable pain. Lower scores indicate less pain. The change from baseline (preoperative assessment) to postoperative 3 months will be evaluated.

Change in Central Sensitization Inventory (CSI) Score
Časové okno: Baseline (preoperative) and postoperative 3 months
The change in Central Sensitization Inventory (CSI) score used to assess symptoms related to central sensitization. The CSI score ranges from 0 to 100, with higher scores indicating greater symptoms of central sensitization. The change from baseline (preoperative assessment) to postoperative 3 months will be evaluated.
