Resumen
CASTRO-CONTRERAS, E y VALDEZ-PARDO, ME. Rotator cuff injuries with nighttime pain and sleep quality before and after treatment. Acta ortop. mex [online]. 2022, vol.36, n.1, pp.33-38. Epub 05-Jun-2023. ISSN 2306-4102. https://doi.org/10.35366/106757.
Introduction:
Growing evidence suggests that shoulder injuries involving the rotator cuff cause severe pain and deterioration of quality of life and sleep.
Objective:
To present the results of a systematic review on the association of rotator cuff injuries with nighttime pain and sleep quality before and after treatment.
Material and methods:
We searched PubMed limited to humans, with no language, age and time period limit with the following terms: [rotator cuff tear and (nocturnal pain OR sleep)]. We used the PRISMA criteria for systematic reviews. Information was extracted on the frequency of nighttime pain and sleep quality in patients with rotator cuff injuries.
Results:
Of 123 records found, 10 studies were included for meeting criteria, including 1,516 patients. Nighttime pain affected 91-93% of patients; its average intensity was 5.5 points of the EVA. 100% of the studies reported alterations in sleep quality associated with rotator cuff injury. After repair, a decrease in pain to inferior scores of 2 and improvement in sleep quality were reported.
Conclusion:
Rotator cuff injuries produce nighttime pain and sleep quality disturbances that improve with treatment. Alterations in sleep quality are due not only to pain but to alterations in shoulder functionality.
