Effect of Central Sensitization on Response to Physical Therapy in Patients With Partial Supraspinatus Tear
Sponsor: Kanuni Sultan Suleyman Training and Research Hospital
Summary
This prospective observational study aims to investigate whether central sensitization influences the response to physical therapy in patients with partial supraspinatus tendon tears. Participants will undergo standardized clinical evaluation before treatment and after a 6-week physical therapy program. Pain intensity, shoulder function, disability, and central sensitization-related symptoms will be assessed using validated outcome measures. The study seeks to determine the relationship between baseline central sensitization status and treatment outcomes, thereby identifying factors that may predict rehabilitation success and support individualized treatment strategies for patients with partial supraspinatus tears.

Standard Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation
All participants will receive the same standardized physical therapy and rehabilitation program administered according to routine clinical practice. The treatment program will include therapeutic exercises, stretching, strengthening, range-of-motion exercises, and appropriate physical therapy modalities as determined by the rehabilitation protocol. No experimental intervention or additional procedure will be performed for research purposes. The study is observational and aims to evaluate whether the presence of central sensitization influences the clinical response to the standardized rehabilitation program.
