Arabic spine pain scale put to the test

This study checked whether an Arabic version of the Extended Aberdeen Spine Pain Scale is a valid and reliable tool for measuring spine pain and disability. Three hundred Arabic-speaking adults with nonspecific spinal pain filled out the questionnaire, along with a general health survey. A smaller group repeated the spine pain questionnaire after a week to see if results were consistent. The goal is to provide a trustworthy tool for clinicians and researchers working with Arabic-speaking patients.
