Brief summary (from the registry)
PURPOSE: To translate, validate and examine the psychometric properties of the Arabic version of the COMI in Egyptian patients with neck pain. BACKGROUND: Neck pain is a highly prevalent musculoskeletal disorders in adults affecting from 45.5% to 48%. It may cause disability that interferes with the quality of life. It is usually treated conservatively. To evaluate treatment effectiveness, patients need close monitoring and follow-up. Different assessment tools are recommended including patient reported outcome measures. One of the newly introduced outcome measure is The Neck Core Outcome Measure Index (COMI). It is characterized by being brief, simple, self-reported and easy to answer questionnaire. The SPINE TANGO, which is the spine organization In Europe, has recommended its use for all patients with spine disorders. This questionnaire has been translated into different languages such as German, Polish and Italian but it has never been translated and validated in the Arabic language. HYPOTHESES 1. The Arabic version of neck-COMI will be a valid tool for the assessment of neck pain in Egyptian patients. 2. The Arabic version of neck-COMI will be a reliable tool for the assessment of neck pain in Egyptian patients. RESEARCH QUESTION: Will the Arabic version of neck-COMI be a valid and reliable tool to assess neck pain in the Egyptian patients?
