Factors Affecting Quality of Life in Patient With Chronic Musculoskeletal Pain

This study included patients who applied to the physical therapy and rehabilitation outpatient clinic and were diagnosed with chronic low back pain and osteoarthrosis and met the criteria for participation in the study.

Demografik datas, pain , Functional Limitations and Quality of Life wa evaluated.

Study Overview

• Status: Completed
• Conditions: Quality of Life; Chronic Pain; Chronic Musculoskeletal Disease

Detailed Description

When treating diseases, clinicians traditionally aim for pain reduction and functional recovery. This is also true for chronic musculoskeletal diseases. However, the psychosocial support required to improve the general health perception of patients is becoming increasingly important. In clinical practice, it is essential to evaluate the quality of life and general well-being and to evaluate the patient completely biopsychosocially . Determining the factors affecting the quality of life is important in terms of contributing to the rehabilitation processes and treatment plans of CMP patients. In this direction, our study aims to examine the factors affecting the quality of life.

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
Pain Severity	The severity of rest pain and activity pain experienced by the patients in the last 1 week will be evaluated by VAS, which is a numeric rating scale. The highest pain intensity is 10, o no pain, 5 will be scored as moderate pain. Higher scores mean more pain intensity	Baseline
Functioal Limitation	Roland Morris questionare (RMQ) will be used for disability assessment in patients with chronic low back pain.Roland Morris questionare evaluates functional limitation due to low back pain. The total maximum score is 24. It includes a total of 24 items questioning patients' mobility, self-care and sleep status. Disability in patients with knee osteoarthritis will be evaluated with the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC).WOMAC; It is a 24-item scale that examines three dimensions: pain, stiffness and physical function. Higher scores mean more disability	baseline
Health-related quality of life	The Short Form Health Questionnaire (SF-36) questionnaire, which examines health-related quality of life under eight sub-titles; It consists of 36 items. The SF36 questionnaire will be used in the study.	Baseline
