Interventions

  • Evaluation Group — OTHER
    An evaluation form will record the participants' socio-demographic characteristics and information about their disease/treatment. Consciousness and cognitive tests will be performed. Then, pain will be assessed with the Visual Analog Scale, 4-Question Neuropathic Pain Questionnaire,, and the Spinal Cord Injury Pain Instrument (SCIPI).

Study Details

Pain after spinal cord injury (SCI) is common, with the majority of individuals experiencing chronic pain and a significant portion reporting severe pain that interferes with their daily lives. Pain due to SCI is divided into two main groups: nociceptive and neuropathic. Clinical expertise is required for the accurate classification of these types of pain. Existing screening tools are generally evaluated with heterogeneous samples and therefore have limited accuracy in individuals with SCI. To address this deficiency, the Spinal Cord Injury Pain Instrument (SCIPI) was developed to define neuropathic pain in a manner specific to SCI. The SCIPI consists of seven items that assess the characteristics of pain and triggering factors. Although this scale, developed in English, has been translated into different languages, there is no Turkish version. This study aimed to examine the validity and reliability of the Turkish version of the SCIPI.
