Investigation of relationship between kinesiophobia, physical activity and disability level and pain management in patients with CLBP

The scale assesses how chronic pain patients cope with organic or psychogenic pain. The scale consists of four subdimensions that are self-coping, helplessness, conscious cognitive interventions, and seeking medical help, and 29 items. The self-report scale consists of a 4-point Likert scale (0: never, 3: often).

Subjects were asked to mark the severity of pain on a 10-cm line. The lowest point indicated the least severity of pain, and the highest point indicated the maximum pain value.
