First seen Jun 29, 2026 · Last updated Jun 30, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study translates and tests a 9-question scale called BITEC, which measures what people with chronic pain expect from their treatment. Researchers will enroll 250 adults in Turkey who have had pain for at least three months. Participants fill out surveys about their pain, expectations, and mood. The goal is to see if the Turkish version is reliable and accurate for use in clinics.

What this could lead to
If successful, this could provide Turkish clinicians with a reliable tool to measure patient expectations, potentially improving pain management outcomes.
What could go wrong
This is an observational study focused on translation and validation, not a treatment trial. The scale may not capture all cultural nuances or predict outcomes accurately.
