Brief Summary

This study was planned to investigate whether reformer pilates exercises, which are recommended for the development and maintenance of well-being in musculoskeletal problems associated with low back, neck and back pain, change the pain perceptions of patients with chronic musculoskeletal diseases by improving the mind-body relationship.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (3)

• Pain intensity measurement by Brief Pain Inventory

  Brief Pain Inventory: The questionnaire was developed by Cleeland and Ryan in 1994 . The pain intensity section of the BPI consists of four items that are scored from 0 (no pain) to 10 (worst possible pain), whereas the functional interference section consists of seven items that are scored from 0 (no interference) to 10 (complete interference). A pain severity score is calculated from the mean of the four pain intensity items, and a pain interference score is calculated from the mean of the seven pain interference items

  Up to one month

• Pain coping assessment by Pain Coping Inventory.

  Pain Coping Scale: The Pain Coping Questionnaire (PCQ) is a 39-item self-report measure for evaluating pain coping in children and adolescents in both clinical and research settings.16 It consists of 8 subscales that can be categorized into 3 higher-order factors, including approach (composed of information seeking, problem-solving, and seeking social support subscales), problem-focused avoidance (composed of positive self-statements, behavioural distraction, and cognitive distraction subscales), and emotion-focused avoidance (composed of externalizing and internalizing/catastrophizing subscales).

  Up to one month

• Pain beliefs assessment by Pain Beliefs Scale.

  Pain Beliefs Scale: It was developed to evaluate the beliefs about the cause and treatment of pain in individuals with pain complaints.Pain beliefs and perceptions inventory (PBAPI). The PBAPI was made up to 16 items selected from the piloted version of the PBAPI. Twelve of the items were selected to represent the factors found in the pilot study. Four additional items from the piloted version were included which demonstrated good internal consistency when piloted and which measured the degree to which pain is believed to be a mysterious experience. Each item was presented along with a 4-point Likert scale anchored at the hash marks with degrees of agreement or disagreement.
