About this trial
This study aims to adapt, validate, and assess the reliability of the Geriatric Pain Measure - Short Form in Turkish. A total of 150 patients aged 65 years and older will complete the scale under the supervision of pain management and gerontology specialists. Reliability and validity will be evaluated using statistical analyses, including internal consistency, test-retest reliability, and correlation with validated pain and sleep scales. Ethical approval has been obtained, and all participants will provide informed consent.

FRAIL Scale
The FRAIL Scale is a five-item questionnaire used to assess frailty in older adults. It evaluates Fatigue, Resistance (weakness), Ambulation (mobility), Illnesses (comorbidities), and Loss of weight. A higher score indicates a greater degree of frailty, helping identify patients at risk for adverse health outcomes.
