Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Adults over 18 undergoing first-line rotator cuff tendinopathy surgery and not currently enrolled in another trial.

Probably not a fit

Patients with low preoperative stress or who do not experience postoperative complications may not show measurable associations.

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This observational study collects questionnaires from adults undergoing first-line shoulder surgery for rotator cuff tendinopathy to measure their stress before surgery. It aims to see if higher preoperative stress correlates with longer or more difficult postoperative recovery. The design relies on questionnaire data without an experimental intervention. Results could help identify whether psychological factors are associated with postoperative outcomes in shoulder surgery.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If a link is found, clinicians could consider preoperative stress assessments to better predict recovery trajectories.

How similar studies have gone: Previous research in other surgeries suggests psychological factors can influence recovery, but findings are mixed and this setting is somewhat novel.
