Brief Summary:
This study evaluates cognitive dysfunction status and related factors in patients with chronic low back pain over the age of 60.
Detailed Description:
The study was designed as prospective, cross-sectional and hospital-based. 55 consecutive patients over the age of 60, diagnosed with CBP, who have been suffering from low back pain for at least 6 months, and a similar number of healthy volunteers (control) in terms of age and gender, who applied to the Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation outpatient clinic of Konya Beyhekim Training and Research Hospital, will be included in the study. Patients will be included in this cross-sectional, survey-type research after their compliance with the inclusion criteria is meticulously determined as a result of anamnesis and physical examination.
Detailed histories of all participants will be taken and detailed physical examinations will be performed. Sociodemographic and clinical characteristics of the participants, such as age, gender, height, weight, educational status, marriage status, duration of illness, and employment status, will be recorded.
Patients will be asked some survey-type questions in a decent environment. Patients' pain and fatigue levels were measured by the visual pain scale (VAS), their emotional states by the Beck depression scale (BDI) and Pain catastrophizing scale, their functional disability level by the Roland Morris Disability Questionnaire, and their sleep quality by the single Likert type question in the Pittsburgh questionnaire. Quality of life will be evaluated with Short Form-36 (SF-36), and their cognitive status will be evaluated with Standard Mini mental test (SMMT) and Montreal cognitive assessment scale (MOCA).MOCA, mini mental test and mood tests are administered by a professional psychologist experienced in the application of these scales.
