No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Compared to healthy subjects, central and peripheral sensitization will be investigated in patients with non-specific shoulder pain, since no data is available at the moment. The Central Sensitization Inventory (CSI) will be administered to assess sensitization in patients and controls, and changes in the mechanosensitivity of the upper limb will be assessed by checking for mechanical allodynia, hyperalgesia, and wind-up related to peripheral sensitization. Chronic pain mediators factors such as anxiety, depression, catastrophization, self-efficacy, and kinesiophobia will be investigated through validated rating scales. The Vagus Nerve neurodynamic test (VN-NDT) will be performed to assess any HR variability reduction related to stress mechanisms typical of chronic pain conditions. Finally, to health status of participants, following the biopsychosocial model, the Generic Core Set of the International Classification of the Functioning of Disability and Health (ICF) will be assessed.
