About this trial
Pain-related thoughts and beliefs play an important role in how individuals experience and cope with chronic pain. Metacognitions about pain, such as beliefs about the uncontrollability or harmfulness of pain-related thoughts, may influence emotional distress and pain-related outcomes. The Pain Metacognitions Questionnaire was developed to assess these beliefs; however, a validated Turkish version is not currently available. The aim of this study is to translate the Pain Metacognitions Questionnaire into Turkish and to evaluate its validity and reliability in adults with chronic non-cancer pain. This observational study will include adult individuals experiencing chronic pain for at least three months. Data will be collected using self-report questionnaires administered in a single assessment session. The findings of this study are expected to provide a reliable and valid measurement tool for assessing pain-related metacognitions in Turkish-speaking populations and to support future clinical and research applications in chronic pain management.

Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
1
Pain Metacognitions Score
Pain metacognitions will be assessed using the Turkish version of the Pain Metacognitions Questionnaire. The questionnaire evaluates metacognitive beliefs related to pain, including beliefs about the uncontrollability, danger, and usefulness of pain-related thoughts. Higher scores indicate more maladaptive pain-related metacognitions.

1
Pain Intensity
Pain intensity will be measured using a numerical rating scale as part of the Brief Pain Inventory, where higher scores indicate greater pain intensity.
Time frame
