Brief Summary

There are a limited number of studies examining the difficulty of reaching treatment related to the pandemic process and the general effects of the process in patients with chronic low back and neck pain. However, no study has been found that compares the effects of individuals actively carrying and not carrying the Covid-19 virus. For this reason, the aim of the study is to examine the effects of the pandemic process on the cognitive level, pain catastrophization, physical activity level and quality of life in individuals with chronic low back and neck pain.
