A Swiss study analyzed 92 patients with RA who underwent shoulder arthroplasty, revealing significant improvements in pain and functionality post-surgery. Emotional well-being influenced pain relief, particularly in patients reporting reduced negative affect six months following the procedure. Pain scores dropped from 5.6 to 1.2, with substantial improvements in shoulder function measured via the Shoulder Pain and Disability Index. The findings highlight the importance of integrating emotional health in recovery strategies for effective postoperative outcomes.
