Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The shoulder is the most mobile joint in the human body. Movements are carried out in most of the activities we participate in, such as work, sports, household tasks, shopping and leisure activities. Shoulder diseases affect 21% of the western population and is one of the most frequent reasons for consultation in orthopedics and rehabilitation consultations.

Shoulder pain is in a large majority of cases related to the slope of the acromion and rotator cuff pathology, which would include the slope of the acromion syndrome. The degree of involvement can range from bursitis, tendinitis, to tendinous ruptures.

Initial treatment is usually conservative and may consist of anti-inflammatory medication and rehabilitation. When the pain is not relieved, surgery is usually recommended. Surgery for rotator cuff tears is increasingly performed minimally invasive, using arthroscopy.

Hospital admission days are currently being reduced, so many of the scheduled shoulder surgeries are performed via the Outpatient Surgery Unit. Often, users are not seen again by the surgeon until a week after the intervention. The affected person must empower themselves and participate actively and progressively in their recovery process. This process begins right after the surgical intervention. Therefore, it is very important that the person has all the necessary information about the surgical procedure that has been performed. Patient education is crucial to reduce anxiety and optimize surgical outcomes.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This is a randomized clinical trial with an intervention group (IG) and a control group (CG). As participants are visited by orthopedic surgery, they are referred to rehabilitation. Once in rehabilitation and in order of arrival of the rehabilitation requests, the participants will be randomized into groups of 8 people/week in the IG and the CG. The first group of 8 people will be IG and the following week the second group of 8 people will be CG and so on until reaching the required sample.

The intervention will take place at the Rehabilitation Unit of the Consorci Sanitari de Terrassa

Participants will be anonymized and randomized into two groups: IG and CG. All participants will receive detailed information about the surgical procedure to which they will be subjected during the pre-surgical visit, carried out by the doctor specializing in orthopedic surgery. The information received will include risks and benefits and all participants will be able to ask any questions they may have. The IG will participate in an informational session prior to shoulder surgery. The session aims to: (1) Know the anatomy and functionality of the shoulder, (2) Understand why pain and functional disability appear, (3) Learn what to do to reduce symptoms, (4) Empower people to face the rehabilitation process. The CG will receive the usual rehabilitation protocol at the Consorci Sanitari de Terrassa, which begins three weeks after the surgical intervention.
