Predicting Pain and Disability From Voice Recordings in Low Back Pain
Sponsor: nurmuhammet tas
Summary
This study aims to investigate whether pain intensity (assessed by Visual Analog Scale - VAS) and functional impairment (Roland-Morris Disability Questionnaire \[RMDQ\] or Oswestry Disability Index \[ODI\]) in patients with chronic low back pain can be estimated using acoustic features extracted from short voice recordings.

Voice Recording Procedure
Participants will be asked to read a standardized one-minute text aloud in a quiet room. Their voices will be recorded using a high-quality microphone. The recordings will later be analyzed for acoustic features such as pitch, speech rate, pauses, and intonation. This procedure is non-invasive and does not involve any clinical or pharmacological intervention.
