Education can reassure people with rotator cuff-related shoulder pain: a 3-arm, randomised, online experiment.

この研究はインパクトが大きい可能性があると判断されました。 OEのAIによるハイインパクト指標は、論文が掲載されたジャーナルと論文自体の科学的内容の両方からのシグナルを統合することで、論文の影響力を推定します。 最先端の自然言語処理を用いて開発されたOEハイインパクトモデルは、ジャーナルのインパクトファクターのみよりも、研究の将来の引用実績をより正確に予測します。 これにより、臨床的に意義のある研究をより早く認識することができ、読者は将来の診療を形成する可能性が最も高い論文に焦点を当てることができます。

研究概要

2237 patients with rotator cuff-related shoulder pain were randomized to receive either best practice education (n=724), best practice education plus pain science messages (n=738), or structure-focused education (n=775). The primary outcomes of interest were self-reported reassurance that no serious condition is causing their pain and that continuing with daily activities is safe. Secondary outcomes included intentions to stay active, see a health professional, see a specialist, and request diagnostic imaging, as well as the credibility and relevance of the education and similarity to previous education received. Outcomes were assessed immediately after the intervention. Overall, the results revealed that both best practice education and best practice education plus pain science messages significantly increased reassurance levels compared to structure-focused education, with best practice education plus pain science messages showing a slight additional effect. This suggests that best practice education is effective in increasing reassurance and may have immediate benefits for patient management strategies.
