Summary

The aim of this randomized controlled trial was to investigate the effects of pain neuroscience education added to exercise on pain intensity, disability, pain threshold, pain catastrophizing, pain beliefs, pain knowledge, and quality of life in rotator cuff related shoulder pain.

Conditions

  • Rotator Cuff Related Shoulder Pain
  • Impingement Syndrome
  • Shoulder Tendinopathy

Interventions

OTHER

Pain neuoroscience education

Pain neurosicence education will be applied 1 day / 6 weeks at the beginning of one of the weekly exercise sessions in addition to the exercise program. The educations will include the definition and general characteristics of pain, pain physiology, peripheral neuropathic pain, the role of the brain in pain perception, tissue healing, peripheral and central sensitization, the effects of emotional, psychological and social factors on the pain process and pain coping strategies.

OTHER

Exercise

Exercise program will be applied 2 days/week for 6 weeks and will consist of 3-phase stretching and motor control/progressive resistance exercises.
