Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Patients with central sensitization

Patients with a score of 40 or higher on theCentral Sensitization Inventory

Treatment outcome

Intervention Type OTHER

Patients will be evaluated for their central sensitization scores before the injection, the pain they experienced during the injection 1 hour after the injection, their daytime and nighttime pain intensity before and 1 month after the injection, their pain thresholds for tactile sensation around the shoulder, and their pain and disability levels.

Patients without central sensitization

Patients with a score below 40 on the Central Sensitization Inventory

Treatment outcome

Intervention Type OTHER

Patients will be evaluated for their central sensitization scores before the injection, the pain they experienced during the injection 1 hour after the injection, their daytime and nighttime pain intensity before and 1 month after the injection, their pain thresholds for tactile sensation around the shoulder, and their pain and disability levels.
