Investigation of Relationship Between Pain, Functional Status and Depression Level in Patients with Rotator Cuff Lesions

22557

In this study, our aim was to determine the relationship between pain, functional status and depression level in the patients with shoulder pain and rotator cuff lesions. Forty-three patients with shoulder pain and having rotator cuff lesion according to clinical examination and magnetic resonance imaging were evaluated. Visual Analog Scale (VAS) was used to determine the intensity of pain. The shoulder range of motion was measured by using goniometry. The functional capacity of patients was evaluated by Constant shoulder score. Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) was used to detect the depression level of patients. The mean pain level at night was 7.00±2.71, the mean pain level at rest was 5.34±2.48, pain level during activity was 8.46±1.48 according to VAS, and the mean Constant score of patients was 39.91±9.72. The mean BDI score was 12.72±8.85 points. No significant correlation was found between pain (at night, rest, activity), ranges of motion (flexion, abduction), Constant functional scores and BDI points of patients. While high pain level and low functional capacity was detected in patients with rotator cuff lesion, there was no correlation between pain, functional capacity and depression level.
