First seen Jun 29, 2026 · Last updated Jun 30, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study evaluates whether a Turkish version of a 9-item questionnaire, called the Tampa Scale of Kinesiophobia, is a valid and reliable tool for people with chronic neck or low back pain. Participants complete several questionnaires online, with a repeat test after 7 days for some. No treatments or procedures are involved. The goal is to provide a short, practical way to measure fear of movement in Turkish-speaking patients.
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 the Turkish version of the questionnaire is found reliable, it could give doctors a quick tool to assess fear of movement in Turkish-speaking patients with chronic spinal pain.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, observational study focused on translating and testing a questionnaire, not on treatment. The results may not apply to all pain conditions or populations.
