Tampa Kinesiophobia Scale Modified for Headache

Tampa Kinesiophobia Scale is a scale that has been validated and reliable in individuals with low back pain in the Turkish population and evaluates fear of movement due to the risk of triggering pain. Especially for migraine headache, patients have complaints about movement and fear of movement, and in addition, according to the International Classification of Headache Disorders, 3rd Edition criteria, the item of aggravation with physical activity is considered as a diagnostic criterion. Migraine patients may theoretically start their attacks due to hypocretin neuropeptide and lactate metabolism dysfunction. It has been stated that calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP), which is released during migraine attacks, is also released during exercise and intense physical activity and can trigger attacks. Therefore, patients avoid physical activity and exercise. It has been stated that movements that do not require effort can also trigger attacks in migraine patients, but this is not seen in tension-type headache. Cervicogenic headache is also a less researched topic in general, and there is not enough data on kinesiophobia in this area. The aim of this study is to investigate the validity and reliability of the Tampa Kinesiophobia Scale for Headache in patients with migraine, tension-type and cervicogenic headaches for the Turkish population. The potential relationships between the scale and the beliefs about headache severity, disability, quality of life, anxiety and depression will also be evaluated and whether the characteristics of the three types of headaches are similar or different from kinesiophobia will be investigated. Hypotheses: H0: The Tampa Kinesiophobia Scale for Headache is not valid and reliable for the Turkish population in patients with migraine, tension-type or cervicogenic headaches. H1: The Tampa Kinesiophobia Scale for Headache is valid and reliable for the Turkish population in patients with migraine, tension-type or cervicogenic headaches.
