Effect of preoperative sleep quality on rapid postoperative recovery from non-traumatic rotator cuff injuries

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: Background: Global aging has led to a continuous increase in rotator cuff injuries, often accompanied by clinical-related sleep disorders. There is a lack of clinical research on whether preoperative sleep quality affects rapid postoperative recovery; therefore, it is necessary to conduct clinical follow-up studies to explore the relationship between preoperative sleep quality and postoperative rehabilitation, in order to provide rehabilitation guidance for clinical practice. Methods: = 136). All patients were given the same rapid rehabilitation protocol. Before the operation and on the 1st, 3rd, 1st week, 1st month, 3rd month, and 6th month after the operation, visual analog scale (VAS) pain scores, Self-Rating Anxiety Scale (SAS) score, Self-Rating Depression Scale (SDS) score, American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons (ASES) score, Constant-Murley score, and patient satisfaction were evaluated. At the same time, the occurrence of adhesions, re-tears, and other complications was recorded. Results: > 0.05). Conclusion: Maintaining good sleep quality before surgery can alleviate early postoperative pain, reduce the risk of postoperative anxiety and depression, accelerate functional recovery, and enhance patient satisfaction. It is recommended to incorporate preoperative sleep optimization into the rapid rehabilitation process for rotator cuff injuries to facilitate patients' rapid postoperative recovery.
