Summary

Although validity and reliability studies have been completed in different patient groups in the literature, the validity and reliability of pressure pain threshold assessment in patients with elbow pain has not been studied. This study aims to study the validity and reliability of pressure pain threshold assessment in patients with elbow pain.

Detailed description

Unidimensional and multidimensional scales based on patient reporting are mostly used in pain assessment. Although determining pain severity based on patient reporting is important, the patient's physiological and psychological characteristics may make it difficult to interpret the responses. Therefore, objective measurement of pain is very valuable in assessing health status. Another approach to assessing variation in pain perception is to define pressure pain threshold. Although validity and reliability studies have been completed in different patient groups in the literature, the validity and reliability of pressure pain threshold assessment in patients with elbow pain has not been studied. This study aims to study the validity and reliability of pressure pain threshold assessment in patients with elbow pain.
