In plain words

What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

The primary aim of this study is to determine the clinical effectiveness of patient education alone in individuals with rotator cuff-related shoulder pain and to identify which patient subgroups benefit more from this approach. In addition, the translation and cultural adaptation of the "Patient Knowledge Questionnaire (PKQ-RCRSP)" into Turkish will be carried out to measure the level of patient knowledge regarding patient education.
