Summary
The shoulder pain in cystic fibrosis study aims to increase understanding of shoulder pain in this patient group. Shoulder pain is a common finding in people with cystic fibrosis, but there is currently a lack of literature on this topic. This observational study aims to gain an understanding of the most common clinical diagnoses of shoulder pain found in this cohort of patients and if there is any common relevant clinical history.
Prevalence of shoulder pain in a 6-month period will also be recorded from those patients attending a cystic fibrosis annual review appointment at one cystic fibrosis centre. This is a non-invasive study consisting of a clinical examination and data collection. The study will be discussed with identified participants, participant information leaflet given, and patients given at least 24-hour before considering to be a part of the study.
Once consented participants will be offered an appointment to co-inside with other cystic fibrosis clinic appointments and will undergoing an interview to take the history of their shoulder complaint and undergo a physical examination.

They will also be asked to complete relevant shoulder questionnaires such as the disability arm, shoulder and hand (DASH), oxford shoulder score and a quality-of-life score (EQ-5D-5L).
