“Shoulder stiffness is a disease manifested by pain, limited range of motion, and functional disability. The inflammatory and fibrosis processes play a substantial role in the pathogenesis of shoulder stiffness. The CB1 receptor has been recognized to mediate the processes of pathologic fibrosis.

This study investigated the role of the CB1 pathway in pathogenesis of rotator cuff lesions with shoulder stiffness.

The CB1 pathway is involved in the pathogenesis of shoulder stiffness. It may be a promising target for the treatment of rotator cuff lesions with shoulder stiffness.”
