About this trial

This study is a prospective cohort study and is a single-center clinical trial. The subjects of this study were patients who underwent rotator cuff repair in the Department of Sports Medicine and the Department of Rehabilitation in the Third Hospital of Beijing Medical University. The sample size of this study is about 2600 cases. We will collect the results of shoulder joint function score, quality of life score, pain score and MRI examination of all participants at baseline. Meanwhile, epidemiological data and related clinical characteristics of patients will be collected at the time of enrollment. All the collected data information was entered into the computer for statistical analysis, and the prognosis of patients under different programs was evaluated.

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

pain VAS score

pain levels in patients, ranging from 0 to 10, with a higher score indicating more intense pain.

Time frame
6 weeks, 3 months, and 6 months after surgery
2

ASES score

The American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons (ASES) score is the most commonly used score to describe the function of patients' shoulder joints, ranging from 0 to 100. The higher the score, the better the function of patients' shoulder joints.

Time frame
6 weeks, 3 months, and 6 months after surgery

Secondary outcomes

1

Active shoulder ranges of motion

internal rotation at the side, and external and internal rotation at 90° of abduction

Time frame
6 weeks, 3 months, and 6 months after surgery
