Abstract:
Rotator cuff disease is highly prevalent and can have a detrimental effect on the quality of life of affected patients. One of the most common complaints from rotator cuff disease is sleep disturbance due to shoulder pain. Numerous studies have attempted to explore the relationship between rotator cuff disease and sleep disturbance, but results are inconsistent and limited. In this setting, the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) plays an important role in preoperative assessment and evaluation of sleep in rotator cuff patients. However, despite the current efforts, the literature presents conflicting results regarding the relationships between magnetic resonance imaging characteristics of rotator cuff tear and PSQI score, signifying a gap in understanding. That being said, it has been shown that rotator cuff repair surgery can alleviate sleep disturbances witnessed preoperatively in and can restore quality of life.
