ABSTRACT
The pathophysiology of pain in patients suffering from rotator cuff (RC) tendinopathy or tears has been examined in various ways. Several molecules from tissue samples taken from the subacromial bursa, supraspinatus tendon, glenohumeral joint fluid, and synovium as well as from peripheral blood have been investigated. This article explores these studies, the assessed biomarkers, and groups their results according to the status of tendon integrity (tendinopathy or tear). Through a structured PubMed database search, 9 out of 658 articles were reviewed. Interleukins, mostly IL-1b and its antagonist, IL-1ra, matrix Metalloproteinases (MMPs), the vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and TNF-a are biomarkers directly searched for correlation to pain level. Most studies agree that IL-1b is directly positively correlated to the degree of pain in patients with RC tendinopathy, especially when the examined sample is taken from the subacromial bursa. VEGF, and TNF-a have been related to shoulder pain preoperatively and TNF-a has also been linked with sleep disturbance. Further studies pointing to more biomarkers taken from the subacromial bursa or tendon directly relating to pain degree are warranted.
