Szczegółowy opis
This prospective observational study aims to investigate the impact of central sensitization on treatment response in patients with supraspinatus partial-thickness tears undergoing a standardized physical therapy and rehabilitation program. Central sensitization is characterized by an increased responsiveness of the central nervous system to sensory stimuli and may contribute to persistent pain and functional impairment beyond the extent of structural tissue damage. Understanding its role may help explain the variability in clinical outcomes among patients receiving similar conservative treatments.
Adult patients diagnosed with a supraspinatus partial-thickness tear by clinical examination and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) will be enrolled. Before treatment, demographic characteristics, clinical findings, pain intensity, shoulder function, and the presence of central sensitization will be assessed using validated outcome measures. All participants will receive the same standardized physical therapy protocol according to institutional practice.
After completion of the treatment program (e.g., 6 weeks), clinical assessments will be repeated to evaluate changes in pain and functional status. The primary objective is to compare treatment response between patients with and without central sensitization. Secondary analyses will examine the relationship between baseline central sensitization scores and the magnitude of improvement in clinical outcomes while adjusting for potential confounding variables such as age, sex, body mass index, symptom duration, and tear characteristics.
The study is observational in nature, and no experimental intervention, randomization, or additional invasive procedure will be performed beyond routine clinical evaluation and rehabilitation. The findings are expected to provide evidence regarding the prognostic significance of central sensitization in patients with supraspinatus partial-thickness tears and may contribute to the development of more individualized rehabilitation strategies.

Patients with Central Sensitization
Patients with supraspinatus partial-thickness tears who are classified as having central sensitization based on the Central Sensitization Inventory (CSI) at baseline and who receive the standardized physical therapy program.
|
All participants will receive the same standardized physical therapy and rehabilitation program administered according to routine clinical practice.
The treatment program will include therapeutic exercises, stretching, strengthening, range-of-motion exercises, and appropriate physical therapy modalities as determined by the rehabilitation protocol.
No experimental intervention or additional procedure will be performed for research purposes.
The study is observational and aims to evaluate whether the presence of central sensitization influences the clinical response to the standardized rehabilitation program.

Change in Shoulder Pain and Disability Index (SPADI) Total Score
Ramy czasowe: Baseline, Week 3, and Week 6
|
The Shoulder Pain and Disability Index (SPADI) total score will be assessed at baseline, the end of treatment, and 6 weeks after completion of treatment to evaluate changes in pain and shoulder-related disability.
A greater reduction in the SPADI total score indicates a better treatment response.
