Brief Summary

The aim of this study is to examine chronotype preferences in myofascial pain syndrome and to investigate its relationship with pain severity, disability and quality of life.

Conditions

Myofascial Pain Syndrome, Diffuse

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (4)

• VAS

  The Visual Pain Scale (VAS), which is easy to understand, apply and interpret, and provides valid and reliable data in a short time, is the most commonly used method in clinics. With a 100 mm visual linear scale, the patient is told that there is no pain at 0, and that the most severe pain they have ever felt at 100, and the patient is asked to put a mark on the point corresponding to their pain.

  "Baseline"

• Pressure Algometry Measurements: (kg/cm2)

  Algometry measurements will be measured with the Baseline Push Pull Force Gauge ® (Fabrication Enterprises, Inc. PO Box 1500, White Plains, New York 10602, USA) algometry device from the painful trigger point area with the patient in a sitting position. Pressure will be applied slowly until the participant first feels pain and responds by saying "stop" and three measurements will be taken with a 30-second interval after each measurement and the average of the three measurements will be recorded as the final value.

  "Baseline"

• Cervical joint range of motion

  Active passive ROM (flexion, extension, right-left) flexion and rotation) of the cervical joint will be measured.

  "Baseline"

• Morningness Eveningness Questionnaire

  One of the most widely used tools to assess sleep chronotype preferences. This 19-item screening questionnaire has a rating range of 16 to 86. The scoring results are classified as follows: evening types with scores between 16 and 41, morning types with scores between 59 and 86, and no types with scores between 42 and 58. The Turkish version has been shown to have good validity and reliability

  "Baseline"

Secondary Outcomes (5)

• Neck Pain Disability Scale

  "Baseline"

• Pittsburg Sleep Quality Index (PSQI)

  "Baseline"

• Beck Depression Anxiety Inventory

  "Baseline"

• The Pain Catastrophizing Scale

  "Baseline"

• SF-12

Study Arms (1)

MPS

Patients aged between 18-65 who applied to the AFSÜ PTR Polyclinic and had complaints of neck and back pain for at least 3 months and were diagnosed with myofascial pain syndrome based on anamnesis and physical examination.

Other: Assessment

Interventions

Assessment OTHER

The patients' demographic information, weight and height measurements, occupational activities and desk work time, daily screen usage time, pain intensity (with VAS), cervical joint range of motion examination, pain threshold (with pressure algometer), functional status (with Neck Pain Disability Scale), sleep quality (with Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Scale), anxiety and depression symptoms (with Beck Depression Inventory), cognitive aspects of pain (with Pain Catastrophizing Scale) will be evaluated. The patients' chronotype preferences will be evaluated with Morningness Eveningness Questionnaire.
