Relationship Between Kinesiophobia, Physical Activity and Disability Level and Pain Management in Patients With CLBP

Completed

• Conditions: Low Back Pain
• Interventions: Other: Pain management

• Registration Number: NCT06125496
• Lead Sponsor: Alanya Alaaddin Keykubat University

Brief Summary

The aim of this study was to examine the relationship between pain management, kinesiophobia, physical activity and disability level in patients with chronic low back pain (CLBP) in different genders. Eighty-two patients with CLBP (42 females, 42 males) between the ages of 20-60 participated in the study. Pain management strategies were determined by Pain Coping Questionnaire (PCQ). Tampa Scale for Kinesiophobia for perception of kinesiophobia, Oswestry Disability Index for disability due to pain and International Physical Activity Questionnaire-Short Form (IPAQ-SF) for the physical activity level were used.

Arm && Interventions

Group	Intervention	Description
Male	Pain management	Forty one males with CLBP between the ages of 20-60 participated in the study. Pain management strategies were determined by Pain Coping Questionnaire (PCQ). Tampa Scale for Kinesiophobia for perception of kinesiophobia, Oswestry Disability Index for disability due to pain and International Physical Activity Questionnaire-Short Form (IPAQ-SF) for the physical activity level were used.
Female	Pain management	Forty one females with CLBP between the ages of 20-60 participated in the study. Pain management strategies were determined by Pain Coping Questionnaire (PCQ). Tampa Scale for Kinesiophobia for perception of kinesiophobia, Oswestry Disability Index for disability due to pain and International Physical Activity Questionnaire-Short Form (IPAQ-SF) for the physical activity level were used.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Pain Coping Questionnaire (PCQ)	From 25 December 2019 to 10 November 2021	The scale assesses how chronic pain patients cope with organic or psychogenic pain. The scale consists of four subdimensions that are self-coping, helplessness, conscious cognitive interventions, and seeking medical help, and 29 items. The self-report scale consists of a 4-point Likert scale (0: never, 3: often).

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
International Physical Activity Questionnaire-Short Form (IPAQ -SF)	From 25 December 2019 to 10 November 2021	The questionnaire provides information on time spent walking, moderate to vigorous activity, and vigorous activity. Time spent sitting is included as a separate question. The total score calculation includes the sum of time (minutes) and frequency (days) of walking, moderate activity, and vigorous activity.
Oswestry Disability Index (ODI)	From 25 December 2019 to 10 November 2021	It consists of 10 items measuring the severity of pain, personal care, lifting, walking, sitting, standing, social life, sleeping, traveling, and degree of pain. Each item is scored between 0-5. The higher the total score, the higher the degree of disability. The maximum score is 50 points.
Visual Analogue Scale (VAS)	From 25 December 2019 to 10 November 2021	Subjects were asked to mark the severity of pain on a 10-cm line. The lowest point indicated the least severity of pain, and the highest point indicated the maximum pain value.
Tampa Scale of Kinesiophobia (TSK)	From 25 December 2019 to 10 November 2021	The scale is scored between 17 and 68 using a 4-point Likert type scale scoring system. A high score on the scale indicates a high level of kinesiophobia.
