Sponsor's own description

Several studies have shown that in chronic pain conditions, factors such as lack of positivity and resilience, pain catastrophizing, stress, anxiety and depression can contribute to the persistence and maintenance of pain. Thus, the present project will identify psychosocial risk factors that predict the persistence of shoulder pain. Individuals with shoulder pain (n=112) will be recruited. At baseline, the participants will fill a series of questionnaires evaluating different biopsychosocial constructs (resilience, perceived stress, anxiety, depression, pain, disability, pain catastrophizing, self-efficacy, social support, physical activity). After baseline evaluation, the participants will take part in an educational program aimed at promoting self-management of shoulder pain. At the end of the project (6 months), participants will only fill questionnaires evaluating pain and disability. Based on the scores on these questionnaires, the participants will be classified as having persistent shoulder pain or as recovered. Thereafter, statistical analyses will be performed to identify significant predictors for persistent shoulder pain. The primary hypothesis of the study is that low levels of resilience, self-efficacy, social support and physical activity, and high levels of stress, pain, disability, catastrophizing, anxiety and depression will negatively influence the pain response resulting in increased pain ratings and persistent symptoms over time.
