Knee Osteoarthritis, Pain, Chronic, Pain Syndrome
Conditions
Brief summary
The aim of this study was to translate the Pain Sensitivity Questionnaire, which was developed to determine the level of pain sensitivity of individuals, to Turkish and to evaluate the validity and reliability of the Turkish version of the scale on knee osteoarthritis patients, and as well as to perform cultural adaptation. Pain sensitivity assessment is used to predict treatment or surgical outcomes of individuals. IPain Sensitivity Questionnaire is a frequently used scale that correlates with experimental pain tests and is used in studies conducted in different patient groups. We believe that adding this scale to our language will contribute to other studies in this field.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Pain Sensitivity Questionnaire | 1-4 week | The Pain Sensitivity Questionnaire was developed to visualize 17 situations that may feel pain in daily life and to indicate possible pain severity. The patient determines the pain severity level from 0 to 10, with 0 indicates no pain, and 10 indicates the most severe pain. The total score of the Pain Sensitivity Questionnaire and the two subscale scores, PSQ-minor and PSQ-moderate, can be calculated. The PSQ-moderate and PSQ-minor subscales consist of 7 items and the total score is calculated on 14 items. The other 3 items were excluded from the scoring of the scale as they normally indicate painless conditions. Total and subscale scores ranged from 0 to 10, and higher scores indicate increased pain sensitivity. |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Pain Catastrophization Scale | 1-4 week | It consists of a total of 13 items and is scored between 0-52 points. Higher scores mean higher levels of pain catastrophization. |
