Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The aim of this study was to examine the Turkish validity of the Pain Behavior Scale in a population with chronic non-specific low back pain and to examine both intra-rater and inter-rater reliability. In addition, since this test package includes a series of functional activities, it is aimed to assess pain behaviors during functional movement in this population and to verify the test-retest reliability of physical performance tests.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

To assess the extent to which individuals with chronic low back pain are affected during functional task performance, the presence or absence of pain behaviors and the severity of observed pain behavior should be considered. The Pain Behavior Scale has potential clinical application both for assessing pain behaviors during regular physical examination and for measuring the presence and severity of pain behaviors during functional movement. There is no similar assessment tool that offers all of these simultaneously. Therefore, this study aimed to examine the Turkish validity of the Pain Behavior Scale in a population with chronic non-specific low back pain and to test its intra- and inter-rater reliability.

survey

Demographic and clinical information of the participants will be recorded using a standardized form. The cognitive status of the patient will be evaluated according to the answers to the questions asked to the patient during the questioning of demographic data and reading and signing the consent form. The participants will be asked to complete a series of questionnaires to assess pain intensity and characteristics, pain-related functional disability, and pain-related fear-avoidance behavior. To record the presence and severity of pain behaviors exhibited during physical performance tests, patients will be asked to complete 5 functional tests (repetitive trunk flexion, repetitive sit-to-stand, timed get-up-and-go test, reach with load, 50-step walk test) and observers will simultaneously complete the Pain Behavior Scale. Each participant will be asked to attend two testing sessions separated by one week and occurring before the start of treatment.
