propranolol has been researched along with Pain, Chronic in 2 studies

Propranolol: A widely used non-cardioselective beta-adrenergic antagonist. Propranolol has been used for MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION; ARRHYTHMIA; ANGINA PECTORIS; HYPERTENSION; HYPERTHYROIDISM; MIGRAINE; PHEOCHROMOCYTOMA; and ANXIETY but adverse effects instigate replacement by newer drugs.
propranolol : A propanolamine that is propan-2-ol substituted by a propan-2-ylamino group at position 1 and a naphthalen-1-yloxy group at position 3.

Brief Pain Inventory (BPI) for Pain Duration

The Brief Pain Inventory (BPI) consists of rating pain intensity on an 11-point numerical rating scale ranging from 0 (no pain) to 10 (worst pain intensity imaginable). BPI will be recorded daily and the recovery criterion used for this study will be a BPI rating of current pain 0/10 and worst pain rating of less than 2/10. The pain duration is number of days from the date of induced pain to date of recovery. The longer the duration means a worse outcome. (NCT02620579)
Timeframe: Daily until recovery criterion met, approximately 5-15 days

Participants will rate their current, best, and worst pain intensity on the BPI. This measure will be recorded daily through study completion, an average of 5 days. The worst pain intensity rating at Day 2 (when participants usually had the Peak Shoulder Pain Intensity) is reported. (NCT02620579)

Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder, and Hand Questionnaire (DASH)

The abridged version of the DASH (the QuickDASH) which consists of 11 functional items, with total scores ranging from 0 (not disability) to 100 (complete disability) will be used to assess upper-extremity disability. The primary outcome will be the highest DASH score recorded during the pain intensity recovery period. (NCT02620579)
Timeframe: Daily until recovery criterion met, approximately 5-15 days

Number of Participants Who Met the Recovery Criterion for Shoulder Pain Intensity

The outcome has a range between 0 and 1, the higher scores mean a better outcome. Successful recovery was determined based on meeting the recovery criterion for shoulder pain intensity by at least 6 days. Specifically, recovery (Yes or No) was defined using Brief Pain Inventory (BPI) ratings as a current pain intensity rating of 0/10 and a worst pain intensity rating of less than 2/10. (NCT02620579)
Timeframe: Approximately 6 days
