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.
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.

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) |
| Heart Rate Variability (HRV) | HRV testing will be used to assess the function of autonomic nervous system | Only one time (baseline) |
| 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) |
| Central Sensitization Inventory (CSI) | CSI wiil be used to assess the CS symptoms | Only one time (baseline) |
| 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) |
| Brief Illness Perception Questionnaire (BIPQ) | BIPQ will be used to estimate the perception of pain severity | Only one time (baseline) |
| Pain Sensitivity Questionnaire (PSQ) | PSQ is a self-reported tool and it will be used to assess pain sensitivity | Only one time (baseline) |
| Pain Catastrophizing Scale (PCS) | PCS is a self-reported scale which estimates the catastrophization | Only one time (baseline) |
| Pain Self-Efficacy Questionnaire (PSEQ) | PSEQ will be used to estimate the self-efficacy | Only one time (baseline) |
| 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) |
| 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) |
| Work Ability Index (WAI) | WAI will be used to assess the work ability | Only one time (baseline) |
| Tampa Scale Kinesiophobia (TSK) | TSK is a self-reported scale and it will be used to assess the kinesiophobia | Only one time (baseline) |
