Brief Summary

Introduction: Kinesiophobia is a common symptom associated with high levels of disability and has also been observed in patients with headache. However, the relationship between kinesiophobia and clinical factors in this population is unknown. Objective: We aimed to investigate the relationship between kinesiophobia and fear of falling, quality of life, and physical activity in children with headache. Methods: We included 127 children aged 6-18 years with headache complaints in our study. The Tampa Kinesiophobia Scale (TKS) was used to assess kinesiophobia, the International Falls Efficacy Scale (IFSES) was used to assess fear of falling, the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ)- short form was used to measure physical activity, and the Quality of Life Scale for Children (QOLS) was used to assess quality of life. A visual analog scale (VAS) was used to assess pain intensity.

Interventions

Forms OTHER

All participants filled out a case evaluation form including demographic information, information about headache complaints, and scores of the questionnaire results. Participants completed the Tampa Kinesiophobia Scale (TKS) for kinesiophobia assessment. The International Fall Efficacy Scale (IFES) used in our study is a questionnaire consisting of 16 questions that provide information about the level of fear of falling during daily life activities. In our study, the visual analog scale (VAS), one of the most commonly used, oldest, and best validated scales, was used to measure pain intensity. The short form of the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ)- consisting of seven questions- was used in our study. The Quality of Life Scale for Children (QoLSC) is a general quality of life scale that is widely used in research and evaluates the physical and psychosocial experiences of children between the ages of 2 and 18.
