Subacromial Pain Syndrome

Subacromial pain syndrome is a clinical condition characterized by pain around the shoulder, especially during arm elevation, and is a common cause of reduced function. Symptoms may arise when the rotator cuff tendons and subacromial bursa become sensitive to load, with repeated or sustained elevation increasing irritation and altering shoulder movement rather than reflecting a single structural lesion. Clinicians assess pain patterns, range of motion, strength, and functional limitations to guide diagnosis and management. Understanding the syndrome supports individualized rehabilitation, including activity modification, progressive exercise, and education, while helping researchers evaluate treatments and refine models of shoulder pain.

Provided here is a protocol that details steps to establish an animal model of chronic post-ischemia pain (CPIP). This is a well-recognized model mimicking human complex regional pain syndrome type-I. Mechanical and thermal hypersensitivities are further evaluated, as well as capsaicin-induced nocifensive behaviors observed in the CPIP rat model.

Diffuse noxious inhibitory control, temporal summation and wound hyperalgesia testing are demonstrated in the obstetric patient. These tests evaluate inhibitory and excitatory mechanisms of pain processing and are here utilized to evaluate endogenous analgesia at different time-points during pregnancy and the peripartum period to help reveal individual s risk for persistent pain.

Source: Remacle, T., et al. Treating Low Back Pain in Failed Back Surgery Patients with Multicolumn-lead Spinal Cord Stimulation. J. Vis. Exp. (2018)This video demonstrates the method of using multicolumn paddle lead spinal cord stimulation to manage chronic lower back pain in Failed back surgery syndrome (FBSS) patients. The pre-implanted lead delivers targeted electrical pulses that activate non-painful sensory pathways, interrupting pain signals and reducing pain perception.
