About

To investigate the reliability and sensitivity of the Fear-Avoidance Beliefs Questionnaire, Tampa Kinesiophobia Scale, and Pain Catastrophizing Scale in patients with chronic nonspecific neck pain undergoing multidisciplinary rehabilitation and to determine the most appropriate minimally clinically significant difference values in order to increase confidence in their use in clinical practice and research for this patient population. Therefore, the current study aims to evaluate the answerability and minimal clinical significance of the Turkish versions of the Fear-Avoidance Beliefs Questionnaire, Tampa Kinesiophobia scale, and Pain Catastrophizing scales in patients with non-specific chronic neck pain.
