ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying a tool called the Single-item Sleep Quality Scale (SQS), which helps patients assess how well they have been sleeping over the past week. The goal is to adapt this tool for German and Italian speakers and to see how effective it is for people with spine disorders, like back pain. The study will take place in two parts: first, researchers will translate the SQS into German and Italian, and then they will test how well it works for patients with back issues.

To join the trial, participants need to be at least 14 years old, able to speak either German or Italian, and have a diagnosed spine problem. They should also be mentally capable of understanding the study. However, individuals who are pregnant, receiving treatment for sleep issues, or using sleep tracking devices won't be eligible. Participants will help researchers understand sleep quality among people with back disorders, and their involvement will contribute to improving patient care in the future.
