Completed This study
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.

Summary

Researchers translated the Pain Behaviour Scale into Turkish and tested how well it measures observable pain behaviors in adults with chronic nonspecific low back pain. About 102 adults aged 18 to 55 performed five standard movement tasks while two physiotherapists independently rated signs such as grimacing, guarding, and limping. The study checks whether different raters agree, whether the same rater stays consistent, and whether the scale relates to disability and fear of movement.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Turkish Pain Behaviour Scale assessment, a clinician-rated observational tool for scoring pain behaviors during physical tasks
What this could lead to
If the scale proves reliable and valid, Turkish clinicians and researchers could gain a standardized way to observe and score pain behaviors in adults with chronic low back pain.
What could go wrong
This is a small measurement study, so it cannot show whether the scale improves treatment or outcomes. Results may not apply to people with other back conditions or outside the study's age range.
