What this trial studies
This clinical trial evaluates the impact of a pre-surgical information session on patients scheduled for shoulder rotator cuff surgery. Participants will be randomly assigned to either an intervention group, which receives detailed information about the surgery and rehabilitation process, or a control group that follows the standard rehabilitation protocol. The aim is to empower patients by enhancing their understanding of the procedure and recovery, potentially improving their rehabilitation outcomes. The trial will take place at the Rehabilitation Unit of the Consorci Sanitari de Terrassa.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates are adults over 18 who require surgery for shoulder rotator cuff pathology and can understand Spanish or Catalan.
Not a fit: Patients who have had previous surgery on the same shoulder or have neurological deficits may not benefit from this study.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this approach could enhance patient empowerment and improve functional rehabilitation outcomes after shoulder surgery.
How similar studies have performed: Other studies have shown that pre-surgical education can improve patient outcomes, suggesting this approach may be beneficial.
