Study Overview
Brief Summary
This study was planned to investigate whether reformer pilates exercises, which are recommended for the development and maintenance of well-being in musculoskeletal problems associated with low back, neck and back pain, change the pain perceptions of patients with chronic musculoskeletal diseases by improving the mind-body relationship.
Detailed Description
Although many symptoms are observed in musculoskeletal system disorders, pain which progresses gradually and even progresses to the point of causing incapacity for work is the most common. Although musculoskeletal system disorders indicate a very broad concept, it is also observed that low back, neck and back pain are in the first rank in studies conducted worldwide and in our country .Pilates training plays an important role in regaining and maintaining muscle strength, flexibility, endurance and functioning of proprioceptive mechanisms. Although there are many physical activity programmes, Pilates has become an increasingly widespread and recommended physical exercise method worldwide in recent years. The Pilates method is an exercise concept established by Joseph H Pilates in the early 1900s and currently applied to both sick and healthy individuals. Exercises can be performed on a mat and special equipment such as Cadillac, Reformer and Wundachair are also used. Pilates training plays an important role in regaining and maintaining muscle strength, flexibility, endurance and functioning of proprioceptive mechanisms. Therefore, although Pilates exercises are not designed to reduce body weight, they are a good option for sedentary, overweight and obese people who have difficulty in performing traditional exercises .

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Pain intensity measurement by Brief Pain Inventory
Time Frame: Up to one month
Brief Pain Inventory: The questionnaire was developed by Cleeland and Ryan in 1994 . The pain intensity section of the BPI consists of four items that are scored from 0 (no pain) to 10 (worst possible pain), whereas the functional interference section consists of seven items that are scored from 0 (no interference) to 10 (complete interference). A pain severity score is calculated from the mean of the four pain intensity items, and a pain interference score is calculated from the mean of the seven pain interference items
Pain coping assessment by Pain Coping Inventory.
Time Frame: Up to one month
Pain Coping Scale: The Pain Coping Questionnaire (PCQ) is a 39-item self-report measure for evaluating pain coping in children and adolescents in both clinical and research settings.16 It consists of 8 subscales that can be categorized into 3 higher-order factors, including approach (composed of information seeking, problem-solving, and seeking social support subscales), problem-focused avoidance (composed of positive self-statements, behavioural distraction, and cognitive distraction subscales), and emotion-focused avoidance (composed of externalizing and internalizing/catastrophizing subscales).
Pain beliefs assessment by Pain Beliefs Scale.
Time Frame: 1month
Pain Beliefs Scale: It was developed to evaluate the beliefs about the cause and treatment of pain in individuals with pain complaints.Pain beliefs and perceptions inventory (PBAPI). The PBAPI was made up to 16 items selected from the piloted version of the PBAPI. Twelve of the items were selected to represent the factors found in the pilot study. Four additional items from the piloted version were included which demonstrated good internal consistency when piloted and which measured the degree to which pain is believed to be a mysterious experience. Each item was presented along with a 4-point Likert scale anchored at the hash marks with degrees of agreement or disagreement.
