Introduction: Treatment of post-surgical pain is predicated by an understanding of pain generators. The purpose of this review is to identify sensory dependent areas of the shoulder and discuss their correlation in treating postoperative pain.
Materials And Methods: Pubmed, Embase, and Cochrane Database of Systemic Reviews were searched (key terms: "Nociception" or "sensory pain receptors" or "pain map" or "neuroanatomy and shoulder" or "rotator cuff") to identify studies in the current literature (1966-2018) regarding sensory innervation of the shoulder and rotator cuff.
