Brief Summary

To investigate the reliability and sensitivity of the Fear-Avoidance Beliefs Questionnaire, Tampa Kinesiophobia Scale, and Pain Catastrophizing Scale in patients with chronic nonspecific neck pain undergoing multidisciplinary rehabilitation and to determine the most appropriate minimally clinically significant difference values in order to increase confidence in their use in clinical practice and research for this patient population. Therefore, the current study aims to evaluate the answerability and minimal clinical significance of the Turkish versions of the Fear-Avoidance Beliefs Questionnaire, Tampa Kinesiophobia scale, and Pain Catastrophizing scales in patients with non-specific chronic neck pain.

İNTERVENTİON

OTHER

The surveys in the study will be applied to the patients in this group and initial and final measurements will be taken.

Other: Pain Catastrophizing scale

Interventions

Pain Catastrophizing scale OTHER

Participants' fear and avoidance behaviors will be evaluated with the Fear Avoidance Beliefs Questionnaire (KKBS) (Appendix 2). Participants' fear of movement will be evaluated with the Tampa Kinesiophobia Scale (TKS) (Appendix 3). Pain Catastrophizing Scale (PAS) (Appendix 4) will be used to evaluate the participants' pain-related thoughts and feelings. The amount of improvement in symptoms perceived by the participants will be evaluated at the end of the treatment with the Global Perceived Impact Scale (GAES) (Appendix 5). Participants were asked "How would you describe your current situation compared to the beginning of treatment?" question will be asked.

Also known as: Fear-Avoidance Beliefs Questionnaire, and Pain Catastrophizing scale, Tampa Kinesiophobia scale
