Development of Pain Related Avoidance of Movement Questionnaire

• Conditions: Low Back Pain; Back Pain; Musculoskeletal Pain
• Interventions: Other: Implementation of Questionnaire

• Registration Number: NCT05320679
• Lead Sponsor: Hasan Kalyoncu University

Brief Summary

In recent studies, it has been shown that people may have avoidance of movement due to pain. However, there is no scale that evaluates avoidance of movement due to pain in musculoskeletal problems. The aim of this study is to develop a scale to measure how much pain-related movement and activity is avoided in individuals with musculoskeletal pain, and to examine the results of its clinical application.

Detailed Description

Approaches and methods to be applied in the research;

* Demographic information (age, gender, weight, height, pain location, pain duration and diagnose) form will be recorded.

* Creation of questionnaire items

* Reviewing of items/questions

* Patients who accept to fill out the questionnaire and who has complain of musculoskeletal pain will be asked to answer the questions.

* Editing the scale according to the answers

* Reliability and validity studies of the questionnaire

* Investigation of the results of applying the scale with clinical follow-up

To compare results of Pain-Related Avoidance of Movement Questionnaire following common used questionnaires are going to be used;

* Visual Analogue Scale (VAS)

* Tampa Kinesiophobia Scale

* Oswestry Low Back Pain and Disability Index-2.0

SPSS version 23 (SPSS Inc, Armonk, NY) program will be used in the analysis of the data.

Arm && Interventions

Group	Intervention	Description
Study Group	Implementation of Questionnaire	Patients who have musculoskeletal pain

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Total points of Pain Related Avoidance of Movement Questionnaire	1 week	Pain related avoidance of movement score is going to be assess by Pain Related Avoidance of Movement Questionnaire to determine change from baseline and, to examine correlation of other questionnaires.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Change from baseline score in pain score	1 week	Pain score is going to be assess by VAS to determine change from baseline. Normal range of VAS score is between 0 point to 10 points. Higher score means worse pain level.
Change from baseline score in kinesiophobia score	1 week	Kinesiophobia score is going to be assess by Tampa Kinesiophobia Scale to determine change from baseline. The normal range of kinesiophobia score is between 17 points to 68 points. Higher score means worse kinesiophobia level.
Change from baseline in disability score	1 week	Disability score is going to be assess by Oswestry Disability Index to determine the change from baseline. The normal range of percentage is between 0 to 100. Higher percentage means worse disability level.
