Clinical Trial Summary

This study was designed to conduct Turkish adaptation, cross-cultural adaptation, validity, and reliability study of Graded Chronic Pain Scale 2.0 in order to use it for Turkish people with Chronic Pain.

Description:

The GCPS 2.0 is an eight-item scale that evaluates the severity of chronic pain, the presence of persistent pain due to pain days, and the degree of disability due to pain. It is easy, simple, useful and multidimensional. 80 volunteer participants who had chronic low back pain were studied.The data collection tools used in this study were; Clinic and Demographic Evaluation Form, Oswestry Low Back Pain Disability Index, Patterns of Activity Measure Pain, Roland-Morris Disability Questionnaire, Hospital Anxiety, and Depression Scale, and Graded Chronic Pain Scale 2.0. In this study, the forms were sent by e-mail. The Snowball sampling method was used in the data collection process.The stages of the Beaton Protocol were followed in the translation of the scale. Validity was evaluated with the Face, Content, and Construct validity analyses. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses were applied to determine the construct validity of the Turkish version of the scale. Reliability was evaluated with the test-retest method, the parallel forms method, and the internal consistency. Ten days after completing the scale, 30 participants filled out the scale again for the Test-retest method. One of the scales we used for the parallel forms method was RMDQ and the other was ODI.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Graded Chronic Pain Scale 2.0	GCPS 2.0 measures multiple dimensions of pain in patients with chronic pain.	3 minutes
Primary	Clinic and Demographic Evaluation Form	n the clinical section, there are questions the inclusion and exclusion criteria. According to this section, the patient is included in the study. In the demographic section, there is the section where the patient's demographic variables are collected.	5 minutes
Primary	Oswestry Low Back Pain Disability Index (ODI)	ODI is a questionnaire measuring the effect of low back pain on daily life and the level of disability caused by this pain.	5 minutes
Primary	Roland-Morris Disability Questionnaire (RMDQ)	RMDQ is a sensitive tool that measures the loss of function and disability due to low back pain.	5 minutes
Secondary	Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS)	The hospital anxiety and depression scale have two sub-scales: Anxiety and Depression. 7 single-digit questions in the scale measure anxiety, while 7 questions with two numbers measure depression.	5 minutes
Secondary	Patterns of Activity Measure Pain (POAM-P)	Some established activity patterns reduce patients' quality of life with chronic pain, increase their pain, and limit their movement. These are modified patterns such as Overdoing, Avoidance, Pacing. POAM-P determines which of these patterns chronic pain patients use. There are 10 questions in each subsection, also 30 questions in total.	15 minutes
