The effect of pain on functionality, kinesiophobia, quality of sleep and quality of life in the patients with adhesive capsulitis

50 patients who had adhesive capsulitis diagnosed and shoulder pain complained were included in our study to investigate the relationship between pain, functionality, kinesiophobia, quality of sleep and quality of life. Visual Analog Scale (VAS) was used to determine the pain level, The Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand (DASH) was used to assess functionality, Tampa Scale of Kinesiophobia (TSK) was used to determine the kinesiophobia level, Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) was used assess the sleep quality and quality of life was assessed by the Nottingham Health Profile (NHP). There was a significant correlation between pain severity and TSK, DASH total score, some sub-parameters of PSQI and NHP (p<0,05). There was a significant correlation between DASH score and some sub-parameters of PSQI scores (p<0,05). Also, there was a significant correlation between DASH score and all quality of life sub-parameters except NHP sleep (p>0,05). There was a significant correlation between TSK score and all sub-parameters of NHP except NHP pain and some sub-parameters of PSQI (p<0,05). Also, there was a significant correlation between PSQI and some sub-parameters of NHP (p<0,05). As a result, this study showed that the common symptom of pain in adhesive capsulitis patients had a negative effect on functionality, kinesiophobia, quality of sleep and quality of life.
