HDQ consists of 9 items and each item is rated between 0 and 10. Increasing the score indicates the seriousness of the impact. The study is planned with 45 individuals with gluteal tendinopathy. After questioning the sociodemographic characteristics of the individuals, the patients will be asked to fill in HDQ, Migraine Disability Assessment Questionnaire, Headache Impact Test-6 and Short Form-36.Test-retest will be re-applied to those of the same individuals who can be reached after 1 week.
