Summary

A common finding in various chronic musculoskeletal pain conditions is changes in the cortical sensorimotor region. Functional brain changes associated with chronic pain include changes in the working body schema and associated mechanisms. However, the number of studies on this subject is quite limited, especially in the shoulder joint. There is no study on rotator cuff-related shoulder pain. In the light of this information, the present study aims to compare tactile acuity, right-left reasoning ability and motor imagery ability in chronic rotator cuff-related shoulder pain with healthy controls. In addition, the relationship of these markers with pain level, pressure pain threshold, range of motion, functionality, pain-related fear and central synthesis level will be investigated as a secondary objective.
