About this trial
As modern society enters the age of an aging population, the prevalence of knee OA continues to increase, which necessitates multi-faceted research. Although there are studies on exaggeration of bodily sensations, depression, kinesiophobia and functional status in patients with knee OA, there are deficiencies in correlating these factors with each other and in directing evaluation and treatment programs. Based on this, this study aims to demonstrate the relationship between the level of exaggeration of bodily sensations, psychological-functional status and perceived pain level in patients with knee pain due to knee OA.

Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
1
Somatosensory Amplification Scale
This scale is a 10-item scale developed to measure the magnification/exaggeration that individuals use while somatizing. Each item is scored between 1 and 5. Many of the items include a series of disturbing bodily sensations that are not indicative of illness. The total score is obtained by adding the scores from the items. An increase in the score from the scale indicates that bodily sensations are perceived exaggeratedly.
Time frame
up to 2 weeks2
Tampa Scale for Kinesiophobia
TSK is a 17-question questionnaire that evaluates fear of re-injury caused by movement, and has been validated and reliable in Turkish. The scale uses a 4-point Likert-type scoring system (1=Strongly disagree, 2=Disagree, 3=Agree, 4=Strongly agree). A total score between 17-68 can be obtained based on the answers given by the person as a result of the questionnaire. A high score indicates a high level of kinesiophobia.
Time frame
up to 2 weeks3
Visual Analog Scale
The VAS is a 10cm line used to measure the intensity of pain, with 'no pain' at one end and 'extreme pain' at the other. Patients mark the point that best describes their pain intensity. The higher the score, the greater the intensity of pain.
Time frame
up to 2 weeks4
Beck Depression Inventory
BDI is a scale consisting of 21 questions in total used to determine the level of depression. Each question is evaluated between 0 and 3 points. A total score of 10 and above indicates the presence of depression. 10-18 points indicate minor depression, 19-29 points indicate moderate depression, and 30-63 points indicate severe depression.
