Brief summary (from the registry)

The goal of this prospective cohort study is to investigate whether pain phenotype is associated with subsequent change in pain intensity after corticosteroid injection given as part of routine care in patients diagnosed with SAPS. The main question it aims to answer is: Does change in shoulder pain from baseline to 4 weeks after corticosteroid injection differ between patients classified as having a nociplastic pain phenotype and those classified as having a non-nociplastic pain phenotype?
