About this study

Official title: The Effect of Pregabalin on Shoulder Pain of Patients With Myofascial Pain Syndrome and Central Sensitization Who Undergo Arthroscopic Rotator Cuff Repair

This study aims to investigate the effects of Pregabalin intake on shoulder pain management in patients with central sensitization undergoing arthroscopic rotator cuff repair. Although Pregabalin is known to be effective in controlling pain after shoulder arthroscopy, research on its efficacy in pain management for patients with central sensitization is scarce. Utilizing a list that identifies central sensitization, this study will explore whether Pregabalin can reduce postoperative pain in these patients and potentially improve joint mobility, emotional, and physical functioning. A prospective randomized study is planned, with inclusion criteria set for patients aged between 19 and 70 who have undergone arthroscopic rotator cuff repair.

The study will compare clinical outcomes up to one year postoperatively between two groups of 38 patients each. The case group will receive standard postoperative medications (NSAIDs) plus Pregabalin oral intake from the day before surgery to six weeks postoperatively, while the control group will receive only the standard postoperative medications without Pregabalin.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. The Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) pain score

    Pain score evaluation from 0 to 10, 10 meaning the maximum pain

    Measured: Preoperative, postoperative 2, 6 weeks, 2, 4, 6 and 12 months

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Constant shoulder score

    Shoulder functional score from 0 to 100, 100 meaning excellent shoulder function

    Measured: Preoperative, postoperative 6 months and 12 months

  2. American shouler and elbow surgeons (ASES) score

    Shoulder functional score from 0 to 100, 100 meaning excellent shoulder function

    Measured: Preoperative, postoperative 6 months and 12 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Pregabalin in people with Rotator Cuff Tears and Central Sensitisation, run by The Catholic University of Korea.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 4 inclusion and 7 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 23 Aug 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

The Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) pain score (time frame: Preoperative, postoperative 2, 6 weeks, 2, 4, 6 and 12 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 23 Aug 2024.
