Brief Summary

This study was planned to investigate the relationship between pain perceptions and pain beliefs of individuals in different age groups with chronic low back pain and symptom severity.

Conditions

Chronic Pain; Low Back Pain

Keywords

pain perception; pain beliefs

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (3)

• The numeric rating scale - NRS-11

  When using the NRS-11, patients are asked to rate their pain on a scale of 0 to 10; where using integers (11 integers including zero) 0 represents "no pain" and 10 represents "worst possible pain". Based on prior studies and clinical experience of use, pain screening scores NRS-11 scores as mild (1-3) are classified as moderate (4-6) or severe (7-10).

• The centrality of pain scale - COPS)

  It is a short 10-item self-report scale designed to assess the centrality of pain. COPS scores are significantly correlated with the clinician's assessment of individual-reported pain severity, disability, mental health, quality of life, and how well the patient's pain is controlled. Each item is rated on a five-point Likert scale. It is a 10-item questionnaire (1: strongly disagree, 2: disagree, 3: neither agree nor disagree, 4: agree, 5: strongly agree). Items 2, 4 and 9 are evaluated in reverse. The resulting value is the sum of all item scores. Higher scores indicate more "central" pain. The highest possible score is 50 and the lowest possible score is 10.

  2 weeks

• The pain beliefs questionnaire - PBQ

  Two subtests of the test were created: the 8-item Organic Beliefs subtest and the 4-item Psychological Beliefs subtest. The item numbers of both subtests are listed as follows: Organic Beliefs: items 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 8, 10, 11, Psychological Beliefs: Items 4, 6, 9, 12. The test takers are asked to indicate the most appropriate one for the participants from 6 options ranging from 1st "never" to 6th "always". The marked scores range from 1 to 6 for each item. The score collected for each subtest is calculated by taking the items in that subtest and summing them up and dividing the numbers by the number of items related to that subtest. An increase in the value calculated from the sub-dimension of the scale indicates that the belief in pain belonging to the sub-dimension is high, and a decrease in the value indicates low pain belief in the sub-dimension.
