About this study
Official title: Evaluation of the Role of Kinesiophobia on Pain, Disability, and Quality of Life in Individuals With Chronic Neck Pain
In this study, the effect of kinesiophobia on pain, disability, and quality of life in individuals with chronic neck pain will be evaluated. Neck pain is a common musculoskeletal disorder that can become chronic in some individuals. Kinesiophobia may lead to a reduction in physical activity due to fear of movement and re-injury, thereby increasing pain and disability. In this cross-sectional study, 57 participants will be assessed using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS), Tampa Scale for Kinesiophobia (TSK), Neck Disability Index (NDI), and the SF-36 Quality of Life Scale. Participants will be selected from individuals aged 18-59 who have experienced neck pain for at least 3 months, and those with a history of neurological disorders, spinal surgery, or pain treatment in the last 3 months will be excluded. This research aims to determine the effects of kinesiophobia on chronic neck pain, thereby contributing to the development of more effective treatment strategies. Written informed consent will be obtained from all participants.
