Study Overview
Brief Summary
The Neurophysiology of Pain Questionnaire was first developed in English to test whether healthcare staff and patients could exactly understand pain neurophysiology. This questionnaire which contains 19 items was developed from the exam questions of students interested in post-graduate pain medicine. Catley et al. (2013) investigated the psychometric properties of the modified Neurophysiology of Pain Questionnaire with a few word differences from the original version by conducting a rash analysis on 300 patients with chronic spinal pain. Acceptable internal consistency and test-retest reliability of the questionnaire were recorded. However, it was stated that 7 items negatively affect psychometric properties of the questionnaire. As a result, the author concluded that the questionnaire had sufficient psychometric properties for use in chronic spinal pain subjects, but further studies were needed. The Neurophysiology of Pain Questionnaire was used to measure a knowledge about pain in different studies. The validity and reliability studies of the Dutch, French and Brazlian Portuguese versions of the Neurophysiology of Pain Questionnaire were conducted in the literature. The aim of our study was to translate the Revised Neurophysiology of Pain Questionnaire into Turkish language and to investigate its psychometric properties.
