Clinical Trial Description

Study Type: Cross-Sectional Validation Study Location: Department of Physical Therapy, University of Lahore Teaching Hospital, Defence Road, Lahore Duration: 06 months (post-synopsis approval) Sample Size: 90 participants Sampling Technique: Purposive Sampling Consent and Ethics: Participants will provide written informed consent. Ethics approval will be obtained from the University of Lahore Ethics Committee. Translation of FSS: The Fatigue Severity Scale (FSS) will be translated into Urdu for data collection. Two independent bilingual translators will create reports on translation difficulties and rationale. These reports will inform a consensus meeting to develop a unified Urdu version, with comments documented. The unified version will be backtranslated into English by native English-speaking translators unaware of the questionnaire's concept. Expert Committee: An expert committee comprising physical therapists, linguists, and a methodologist will review both language versions. The goal is to ensure semantic, idiomatic, experiential, and conceptual equivalence and reach consensus on the final Urdu version of the FSS. Patient Involvement: The final Urdu FSS version will be administered to 20 fibromyalgia patients. These patients will also be interviewed to assess their understanding of questionnaire items. Participants will receive additional information about fibromyalgia to prevent confusion. Data Collection: Data will be collected from 100 fibromyalgia patients using the final Urdu FSS version. A retest will be conducted after 48 hours. Additional Assessment: All 90 participants will complete the Multidimensional Fatigue Inventory (MFI). ;
