About this trial
New recommendations regarding care pathways for the management of shoulder pain syndromes have recently been published. We aim to analyze and compare the existing care pathways and identify the most appropriate approaches for different patient profiles.
Our primary objective is to compare pain levels and shoulder function one year after your initial consultation with your general practitioner for this episode. We also seek to assess which healthcare professionals you consult for your shoulder management, the treatments you receive (e.g., analgesics), and any imaging studies you undergo (if prescribed).
We will send you notifications to remind you of the survey completion schedule and provide the link to access the questionnaire.
Participation in this study requires your commitment and adherence to the timeline, as missing data may compromise the analysis of results.
Non-participation in the study will not affect your current medical care.
