Evaluating Preoperative Stress Levels in Adults Undergoing Rotator Cuff Tendinopathy Surgery to Understand Post-Surgery Recovery

What this Trial Is About

This research focuses on adults undergoing surgery for rotator cuff tendinopathy and aims to understand how preoperative stress levels might affect postoperative recovery. The study explores the hypothesis that higher stress before surgery could lead to more severe complications, such as complex regional pain syndrome or adhesive capsulitis, which can prolong recovery and impact personal and professional life. Participants in this observational study will be assessed using questionnaires, including the MSP9 score, Cungi scale, and EVA scale, to measure stress levels before surgery. The research centers on patients having first-line surgery for rotator cuff tendinopathy, with no active treatment interventions being administered as part of the study. Throughout the study, participants will undergo stress assessments before surgery using established scales. Researchers will track stress levels to evaluate their association with postoperative outcomes. The main measurement is the preoperative MSP9 stress score, with data collection completed by September 2026. Participants usual care continues uninterrupted during the study.
