Development of Pain Related Avoidance of Movement Questionnaire

Development and Implementation of Pain Related Avoidance of Movement

In recent studies, it has been shown that people may have avoidance of movement due to pain. However, there is no scale that evaluates avoidance of movement due to pain in musculoskeletal problems. The aim of this study is to develop a scale to measure how much pain-related movement and activity is avoided in individuals with musculoskeletal pain, and to examine the results of its clinical application.

Study Overview

• Status: Recruiting
• Conditions: Back Pain; Low Back Pain; Musculoskeletal Pain
• Intervention / Treatment: Other: Implementation of Questionnaire

Detailed Description

Approaches and methods to be applied in the research;

• Demographic information (age, gender, weight, height, pain location, pain duration and diagnose) form will be recorded.
• Creation of questionnaire items
• Reviewing of items/questions
• Patients who accept to fill out the questionnaire and who has complain of musculoskeletal pain will be asked to answer the questions.
• Editing the scale according to the answers
• Reliability and validity studies of the questionnaire
• Investigation of the results of applying the scale with clinical follow-up

To compare results of Pain-Related Avoidance of Movement Questionnaire following common used questionnaires are going to be used;

• Visual Analogue Scale (VAS)
• Tampa Kinesiophobia Scale
• Oswestry Low Back Pain and Disability Index-2.0

SPSS version 23 (SPSS Inc, Armonk, NY) program will be used in the analysis of the data.

• Study Type: Observational
• Enrollment (Anticipated): 400

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
Total points of Pain Related Avoidance of Movement Questionnaire	Pain related avoidance of movement score is going to be assess by Pain Related Avoidance of Movement Questionnaire to determine change from baseline and, to examine correlation of other questionnaires.	1 week

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
Change from baseline score in pain score	Pain score is going to be assess by VAS to determine change from baseline. Normal range of VAS score is between 0 point to 10 points. Higher score means worse pain level.	1 week
Change from baseline score in kinesiophobia score	Kinesiophobia score is going to be assess by Tampa Kinesiophobia Scale to determine change from baseline. The normal range of kinesiophobia score is between 17 points to 68 points. Higher score means worse kinesiophobia level.	1 week
Change from baseline in disability score	Disability score is going to be assess by Oswestry Disability Index to determine the change from baseline. The normal range of percentage is between 0 to 100. Higher percentage means worse disability level.	1 week
