Journal of human hypertension·2016

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedics
  • Pain Management
  • Musculoskeletal Disorders

Background:

  • Shoulder pain is a prevalent clinical problem in North America.
  • Pathogenetic mechanisms are diverse and often lack substantiation.
  • Recent progress in understanding shoulder pain has been limited.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To categorize shoulder pain for better clinical evaluation.
  • To highlight the importance of comprehensive patient assessment.

Main Methods:

  • Categorization of shoulder pain into four types: local origin, referred pain, shoulder and neck pain, and shoulder pain with reflex sympathetic dystrophy.
  • Emphasis on clinical evaluation methods.

Main Results:

  • Shoulder pain presents with varied etiologies.
  • A structured approach to diagnosis is beneficial.

Conclusions:

  • Comprehensive history taking is crucial for diagnosing shoulder pain.
  • Understanding the patient's psychosocial background aids evaluation.
  • A complete physical examination is essential for effective shoulder pain management.
