Total Shoulder Arthroplasty Preoperative Pain Threshold and Association With Postoperative Opioid Consumption
Sponsor: The Cooper Health System
Summary
The purpose of this prospective research study is to evaluate the effects of preoperative pain threshold using a pressure algometer and its effects on postoperative patient satisfaction, return to work, and opioid consumption following Total Shoulder Arthroplasty (TSA). Participants will have their pain threshold measured at the preoperative visit. Postoperatively, they will be followed for 3 months and complete a pain journal for 2 weeks, record their medications consumed, and complete surveys at 2 weeks, 6 weeks, and 3 months. The study team will rely on the completion of the questionnaires, opioid consumption journal, and surveys to establish a correlation between pre-operative pain threshold and post-operative outcome.

Interventions
Pain Threshold using algometer/dolorimeter
These patients who consent to participation in the study will receive a preoperative pain threshold measured using a pain algometer/dolorimeter. We will rely on the completion of the questionnaires, opioid consumption journal, and surveys to establish a correlation between pre-operative pain threshold and post-operative outcomes.
