NCT ID NCT07761208
First seen Aug 12, 2026 · Last updated Aug 13, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study is testing whether a picture-based questionnaire, originally developed to measure how chronic pain interferes with daily activities, works well in Turkish. Researchers will adapt the Pictorial Pain Interference Questionnaire into Turkish and check its reliability and validity in 100 adults with chronic pain lasting at least three months. Participants will complete the questionnaire and other standard pain assessments, with a repeat test after seven days to check consistency. The goal is to provide a practical, culturally appropriate tool for evaluating pain's impact on daily life in Turkish-speaking individuals.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could provide a reliable, picture-based tool for Turkish-speaking people with chronic pain to describe how pain affects their daily life, improving pain assessment and care.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational validation study, not a treatment trial. It cannot show whether any therapy works, and the results may not apply beyond the specific group studied.
