Brief Summary

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

The aim of our study was to examine the relationship between lateralization performance, two-point discrimination, kinesiophobia and pain catastrophizing in patients with chronic low back pain.

Detailed Description

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

Participants who meet the inclusion criteria and agree to participate in the study will be selected from the relevant population by the improbable random sampling method. Demographic data, age, gender, height, weight), education status, and dominant hand and foot information will be obtained from the volunteer participants participating in the study before starting the study. Oswestry Low Back Pain Questionnaire will be used to evaluate functional limitations in daily life activities of patients experiencing low back pain. This questionnaire has 6 sections with 0-5 points for each question. It consists of 10 sections including pain intensity, personal precautions, lifting objects, walking, sitting, standing, sleeping, sexual life, social life, and travel. 0-4 points are considered as no disability, 5-14 points as mild, 15-24 points as moderate, 25-34 points as severe, and 35-50 points as complete disability. The minimum score received from the scale is 0 and the maximum score is 50. A score of 50 indicates the highest level of functional disability . Recognize mobile application will be used to evaluate lateralization performance. This application will be evaluated with the hand, foot and back modules. The photographs will be shown on a screen. If the patient thinks the photo belongs to the right side, the patient will press the right button and if the patient thinks the photo belongs to the left side, the patient will press the left button. The reaction time and accuracy given at the end of the application will be recorded. The most accurate response instruction will be given in the shortest possible time. The Visual Analog Scale (VAS) will be used to measure the general pain status of the patients. In addition, the duration of the pain, the localization of the pain (right, left) and the Tampa Kinesiophobia Scale will be used to evaluate the fear of movement. This scale consists of 17 items. A high score indicates a high level of fear of movement, while a low score indicates a negligible level of fear of movement. Each item is scored on a 4-point Likert scale (1-4). The answers and their numerical values are as follows: (1) I strongly disagree, (2) I disagree, (3) I agree and (4) I strongly agree. The scores of items 4, 8, 12 and 16 should be reversed when calculating the total score. The total score obtained by adding different items can vary between 17-68. The level of pain catastrophizing will be assessed with the Pain Catastrophizing Scale. This scale is a 5-point Likert-type scale consisting of 13 questions and evaluates the feelings and thoughts of the person when experiencing pain. A two-point discrimination device will be used to assess two-point discrimination. The Central Sensitization Inventory will be used for central sensitization findings. Part A, consisting of 25 items scored from 0 to 4, will be used. A higher score indicates the presence of more symptoms related to central sensitization. A cut-off value equal to or above 40 indicates the presence of central sensitization.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Experimental Group

Participants Individuals between 18-65 will be included in the study because pain mechanisms and effects are different between adults and children. Inclusion criteria are having low back pain for 3 months or longer, Mini mental test score\>23, Healthy individuals who do not experience chronic low back pain will be evaluated in the control group. Hypertension, congestive heart failure, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, rheumatological diseases, vertigo, nausea, vomiting, specific diagnosis underlying back pain (e.g. radicular symptoms), significant decrease in vision and hearing, body mass index higher than 30, serious psychiatric condition, inability to communicate, traumatic low back pain, those who have had back surgery, those who refused to participate in the study and did not fill out the consent form will be excluded.

Recognize mobile application will be used to assess lateralization performance. Evaluation will be made with hand, foot and back modules of this application. Reaction time and accuracy given at the end of the application will be recorded. The most accurate response instruction will be given in the shortest possible time.

Pain catastrophizing level will be assessed with Pain Catastrophizing Scale. Two-point discrimination device will be used to assess two-point discrimination. Central Sensitization Inventory will be used for central sensitization findings.

Control Group

Consists of healthy volunteer participants who meet the inclusion criteria. The control group will be selected from those who have never felt back pain that would affect their daily life activities and who have not received treatment.
