100 patients will be enrolled in total with 50 in each group (scleroderma with pain vs. scleroderma without pain, 1:1 ratio), the duration of inclusion is estimated for 23 months.

2 centers will be involved in the enrollment of patients: rheumatology department and interne medicine department of Cochin hospital-APHP. One center will perform the evaluations of pain for all patients: center of pain of Cochin hospital - APHP.
