Turkish Pain Behaviour Scale in Adults With Chronic Nonspecific Low Back Pain
Sponsor: Acibadem University
Summary
The aim of this study was to translate and culturally adapt the Pain Behaviour Scale (PaBS) into Turkish and to evaluate its psychometric properties in adults with chronic nonspecific low back pain. Specifically, the study examined interrater reliability, intrarater reliability, agreement, measurement error, and construct validity of the Turkish version of the PaBS during standardized functional performance tasks.

Turkish Pain Behaviour Scale Assessment
Participants completed self-report measures of pain intensity and characteristics, disability, and fear-avoidance beliefs and performed five standardized physical performance tests: repeated trunk flexion, repeated sit-to-stand, Timed Up and Go, loaded reach, and 50-foot walk. During the first testing session, two independent physiotherapists simultaneously assessed the presence and severity of pain behaviors using the Turkish Pain Behaviour Scale (PaBS). For intrarater reliability, one rater repeated the PaBS assessment during a second testing session approximately one week later. No therapeutic intervention was administered as part of the study assessments.
