Overview
Brief Summary
Kinesiophobia which is described as fear of movement reduces physical activity levels and increases the risk of chronic pain. The investigators consider that kinesiophobia levels are higher in patients with fibromyalgia syndrome and chronic neck pain so that physical activity levels are lower in this patient groups. Because there are not enough studies, the investigators aimed to evaluate kinesiophobia and physical activity levels in this patients.
Detailed Description
Objective: To evaluate pain, kinesiophobia, physical activity, depression, disease severity, and fatigue in patients with fibromyalgia syndrome or chronic neck pain and healthy controls. Design: Cross-sectional study. Setting: Tertiary Health Care Center, Aksaray, Turkey Participants: 30 patients with fibromyalgia syndrome (Group 1), 30 patients with chronic neck pain (Group 2), and 30 healthy individuals (Group 3) were included. Main Outcome Measures: Outcome measures were Visual Analogue Scale (VAS)-pain and fatigue, Tampa Scale of Kinesiophobia (TSK), Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) Short Form, Fibromyalgia Impact Questionnaire (FIQ), Neck Pain Disability Index (NPDI).

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Tampa Scale of Kinesiophobia
Time Frame: 4-8 minutes
Based on a four-point Likert type, this scale contains 17 items that evaluate fear and anxiety related to physical activity. A total score of greater than 37 is accepted as statistically significant and interpreted as a high level of kinesiophobia. Minimal and maximal scores could be between 17-68 points. Higher scores indicate higher levels of kinesiophobia.
International Physical Activity Questionnaire Short Form
Time Frame: 5-10 minutes
This questionnaire consists of seven items that measure the duration of the participants' physical activity, walking and sitting within the last seven days in the metabolic equivalent (MET)-min/week unit. 3 or more days of vigorous activity of at least 20 minutes per day or 5 or more days of moderate-intensity activity and/or walking of at least 30 minutes per day or 5 or more days of any combination of walking, moderate-intensity or vigorous intensity activities achieving a minimum of at least 600 MET-minutes/week are proposed to be moderate level. Vigorous-intensity activity on at least 3 days and accumulating at least 1500 MET-minutes/week or 7 or more days of any combination of walking, moderate- or vigorous-intensity activities accumulating at least 3000 MET-minutes/week are proposed to be high level. Some activity is reported but not enough to meet categories of moderate or high levels, it is proposed to be low level.
Beck Depression Inventory
Time Frame: 10 minutes
This is a 21-item questionnaire that investigates the characteristic attitudes and symptoms of depression. A score of 10 or higher indicates depression. Minimal and maximal scores can be 0-63 points. Higher scores indicate higher levels of depression.
Fibromyalgia Impact Questionnaire
Time Frame: 5 minutes
Fibromyalgia Impact Questionnaire aims to evaluate the arthritis symptoms and functional status of patients with fibromyalgia syndrome through 21 questions that inquire about physical functions, work-related situations, depression, anxiety, waking up tired, pain, stiffness, and fatigue. Higher scores indicate greater impact of fibromyalgia on functioning. Final score should range from 0 to 80.
Neck Pain Disability Index
Time Frame: 5-8 minutes
This index consists of 20 questions that assess severity of neck pain and the extent to which the pain affects the social, professional and daily activities of patients.Final score should range from 0 to 100. Higher scores indicate greater levels of disability.
Visual Analog Scale for the Evaluation of Pain
Time Frame: 0.5 minutes
For this evaluation, the patient is asked to mark his/her severity of pain on a horizontal 100-mm line with 0 on one end representing no pain and 100 on the other end represent very severe pain. Higher scores indicate higher levels of pain intensity.
Visual Analog Scale for the Evaluation of Fatigue
Time Frame: 0.5 minutes
For this evaluation, the patient is asked to mark his/her severity of fatigue on a horizontal 100-mm line with 0 on one end representing no fatigue and 100 on the other end represent very severe fatigue.
