Validation of the Paris (Functional Coccydynia Effect) Pain Questionnaire

Turkey (Türkiye)105 participantsStarted 2024-10-30

Plain-language summary

This study aims to validate and assess the reliability of the Turkish version of the Paris Pain Questionnaire (PPQ) in patients with coccydynia. The PPQ was developed by Dr. Jean-Yves Maigne as a condition-specific tool to evaluate pain severity and functional limitations in individuals with coccydynia. This study follows a cross-sectional observational design and includes 105 participants. The psychometric properties of the Turkish version will be assessed through internal consistency (Cronbach's alpha), test-retest reliability (intraclass correlation coefficient - ICC), and construct validity. The results will determine whether the PPQ is a valid and reliable tool for use in Turkish-speaking populations with coccydynia.
