Brief summary (from the registry)
This observational cross-sectional study aims to examine the relationships between interoceptive awareness, physical activity level, body awareness, emotional status, and pain intensity in individuals with non-specific chronic low back pain. Non-specific chronic low back pain refers to pain in the lumbar region lasting for at least three months without an identifiable structural or pathological cause. Participants aged 18-65 years who meet the diagnostic criteria for non-specific chronic low back pain will be evaluated using validated self-report questionnaires. These include measures of interoceptive awareness, body awareness, alexithymia, physical activity level, and pain intensity. Sociodemographic and clinical characteristics such as age, gender, education level, duration of pain, medication use, height, weight, and BMI will also be collected. The purpose of the study is to better understand how internal body perception, physical activity, emotional processing, and body awareness interact with pain experience in this population. Findings may contribute to the development of individualized rehabilitation programs and inform clinicians about the multidimensional factors influencing chronic low back pain.
