MINDFULNESS-BASED POST-OPERATIVE CHRONIC SHOULDER PAIN MANAGEMENT

Chronic shoulder pain is one of the most common musculoskeletal (MSK) disorders or diseases which prevail in all populations. While the prevalence of pain can be caused directly by a specific incident, surgical procedures such as rotator cuff repair, shoulder joint replacement, fracture repair, etc., or rather unknown reasons, its chronicity and recurrence is often the main concern for patients themselves and clinicians.   

Followed by surgical procedures and subsequent conventional treatments, well-defined multidisciplinary and interprofessional treatment trials are imminent to justify clinical recommendations to support the efficacy of non-surgical holistic therapies.
