This study will be conducted to examine the levels of pain, pressure pain threshold, joint position sense, sensation, functionality, pain catastrophizing, central sensitization, and body awareness in individuals with non-specific chronic low back pain, and to compare these findings with those of healthy individuals. Additionally, the study will aim to objectively investigate the relationships between lumbar self-perception (FreBAQ) and tactile acuity (TPDT), pressure pain threshold (PPT), lumbar joint position sense (LJPS), as well as psychosocial (PCS) and central sensitization (CSI) indicators in individuals with non-specific chronic low back pain. Furthermore, the study will seek to evaluate the predictive effects of lumbar self-perception on pain (VAS) and disability (RMDQ), in conjunction with objectively assessed sensory and sensorimotor measures in individuals with non-specific chronic low back pain.
"How long has the pain been an ongoing problem for you?"
"How often has pain been an ongoing problem for you over the past 6 months?" A response of "greater than 3 months" to question 1 and "at least half the days in the past 6 months" to question 2 indicated chronic pain.
