Clinical Trial Summary

The aim of this study was to investigate predictors of nociplastic shoulder pain. Factors of psychological distress, functionality, fitness, quality of life, quality of sleep, functioning of the parasympathetic system, and lifestyle will be examined. Patients with nociplastic pain will be identified using the classification system proposed by the IASP.


Description:

The main part of the study will include patients with chronic shoulder pain who visit the Hand Surgery-Upper Limb and Microsurgery Department of the General Hospital KAT. The measurements will be performed in one session. Once participants have been informed of the purpose and procedure of the study and given written consent, they will complete their demographics and a series of questionnaires and questions about their pain history. They will then be examined by a doctor and finally subjected to dynamometry, a functional test and two quantitative sensory tests.

Outcome

Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Primary Pressure Pain Threshold (PPT) PPT will be used to assess the pain sensitivity Only one time (baseline)
Primary Conditioned Pain Modulation (CPM) CPM will be used to examine the descending inhibition of nociceptive signals Only one time (baseline)
Primary Nociplastic Pain Criteria The grading system for recognition of nociplastic pain will be used (Kosek et al. 2021). Only one time (baseline)
Secondary Numeric Pain Rating Scale Pain intensity will be assessed with Numeric Pain Rating Scale. Participants will score from 0 (no pain) to 10 (the worst pain they have ever experienced). Only one time (baseline)
Secondary Pain Distribution Pain location will be recorded using the Pain Distribution App (PDA) which is a self-reported tool to assess the distribution and spread of body pain areas. The PDA has demonstrated reliability. Only one time (baseline)
Secondary Heart Rate Variability (HRV) HRV testing will be used to assess the function of autonomic nervous system Only one time (baseline)
Secondary Range of motion Active and passive range of motion will be measured using a goniometer. It will be assessed the flexion, abduction, and external rotation. Participants will be a standing position for flexion and abduction assessment and in prone position for external rotation. Only one time (baseline)
Secondary Central Sensitization Inventory (CSI) CSI wiil be used to assess the CS symptoms Only one time (baseline)
Secondary Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) Anxiety and depression will be measured with Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS). HADS includes 14 items, 7 for Anxiety and 7 for Depression. The overall score range 0-42 and 0-21 for the different categories. A cut-off 8/21 has been recommended. Only one time (baseline)
Secondary Brief Illness Perception Questionnaire (BIPQ) BIPQ will be used to estimate the perception of pain severity Only one time (baseline)
Secondary Pain Sensitivity Questionnaire (PSQ) PSQ is a self-reported tool and it will be used to assess pain sensitivity Only one time (baseline)
Secondary Pain Catastrophizing Scale (PCS) PCS is a self-reported scale which estimates the catastrophization Only one time (baseline)
Secondary Pain Self-Efficacy Questionnaire (PSEQ) PSEQ will be used to estimate the self-efficacy Only one time (baseline)
Secondary Shoulder Pain and Disability Index (SPADI) SPADI is a self-reported questionnaire and it will be used to assess the disability Only one time (baseline)
Secondary Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) The Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) is an effective instrument used to measure the quality and patterns of sleep in adults. Only one time (baseline)
Secondary Work Ability Index (WAI) WAI will be used to assess the work ability Only one time (baseline)
Secondary Tampa Scale Kinesiophobia (TSK) TSK is a self-reported scale and it will be used to assess the kinesiophobia Only one time (baseline)
Secondary EuroQol-5 Dimension (EQ-5D) EQ-5D will be used to assess the quality of life Only one time (baseline)
Secondary 3-Minute Step Test (3MST) 3MST will be used to assess the cardiovascular capacity Only one time (baseline)
Secondary Hand Grip Hand Grip will be used to assess the strength of forearm muscles Only one time (baseline)
