Brief summary (from the registry)
This prospective observational cohort study aims to investigate whether baseline central sensitization and psychological factors predict functional outcomes following rehabilitation in individuals with chronic shoulder pain. Participants with chronic shoulder pain will receive a standardized 6-week physiotherapy and rehabilitation program routinely applied in the clinic. Assessments will be performed before and after treatment, including pain severity, shoulder function, central sensitization symptoms, and psychological factors such as pain catastrophizing. The findings of this study may contribute to a better understanding of biopsychosocial factors affecting rehabilitation outcomes in chronic shoulder pain and help improve individualized rehabilitation approaches.
