NCT06544850 | Not Yet Recruiting

• 1 other identifier: 2024/6004
• Study Type: observational
• Target: 80
• Locations: 0 countries
• Sites: N/A

Brief Summary

The aim of our study was to examine the relationship between lateralization performance, two-point discrimination, kinesiophobia and pain catastrophizing in patients with chronic low back pain.

Conditions

Chronic Low-back Pain

Keywords

pain; rehabilitation; lateralization

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Lateralization Performance

  The Recognize mobile application will be used to evaluate lateralization performance. The evaluation will be made with the hand, foot and back modules of this application. The photos will be shown on a screen. If the photo is from the right side, the person will press the right button and if it is from the left side, the person will press the left button. The reaction time and accuracy given at the end of the application will be recorded. The most accurate response instruction will be given in the shortest possible time

  4 months

Secondary Outcomes (6)

• Oswestry Disability Index

  4 months

• Visual Analogue Scale

  4 months

• Tampa Scale of Kinesiophobia

  4 months

• Central Sensitization inventory

  4 months

• Pain Catastrophizing Scale

  4 months

Study Arms (2)

Experimental Group

Participants Individuals between 18-65 will be included in the study because pain mechanisms and effects are different between adults and children. Inclusion criteria are having low back pain for 3 months or longer, Mini mental test score\>23, Healthy individuals who do not experience chronic low back pain will be evaluated in the control group. Hypertension, congestive heart failure, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, rheumatological diseases, vertigo, nausea, vomiting, specific diagnosis underlying back pain (e.g. radicular symptoms), significant decrease in vision and hearing, body mass index higher than 30, serious psychiatric condition, inability to communicate, traumatic low back pain, those who have had back surgery, those who refused to participate in the study and did not fill out the consent form will be excluded.

Other: experimental group

Control Group

Consists of healthy volunteer participants who meet the inclusion criteria. The control group will be selected from those who have never felt back pain that would affect their daily life activities and who have not received treatment.

Other: control group

Interventions

experimental group OTHER

Oswestry Low Back Pain Questionnaire will be used to assess functional limitations in daily life activities of patients with low back pain. Recognize mobile application will be used to assess lateralization performance. Evaluation will be made with hand, foot and back modules of this application. Reaction time and accuracy given at the end of the application will be recorded. The most accurate response instruction will be given in the shortest possible time. Visual Analog Scale (VAS) will be used to measure general pain status of patients. Tampa Kinesiophobia Scale will be used to assess fear of movement. Pain catastrophizing level will be assessed with Pain Catastrophizing Scale. Two-point discrimination device will be used to assess two-point discrimination. Central Sensitization Inventory will be used for central sensitization findings.

Experimental Group

control group OTHER

Healthy volunteer participants who meet the inclusion criteria will be evaluated with the tests applied to the experimental group

Control Group

Eligibility Criteria

• Age: 18 Years - 65 Years
• Sex: all
• Healthy Volunteers: Yes
• Age Groups: Adult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)
• Sampling Method: Probability Sample
