ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is looking to translate and validate questionnaires that assess pain, autonomy, and quality of life for people with musculoskeletal issues. Essentially, researchers want to ensure that these questionnaires work well in the Albanian language so that they can accurately help assess conditions like joint and muscle pain, back pain, and other related issues. The study will involve about 300 participants who will fill out these questionnaires, helping to confirm that they are reliable and effective tools.

To be eligible for this trial, participants should be between the ages of 65 and 74 or 29 and 219, and they need to have certain conditions like joint or muscle pain, back pain, or other musculoskeletal disorders. However, individuals who are not native Albanian speakers or who have severe injuries, tumors, or metabolic diseases won’t be able to participate. If you join the study, you can expect to complete the questionnaires, which will help improve the understanding and treatment of pain and quality of life issues in the Albanian-speaking population. Please note that the trial is not yet recruiting participants but will provide valuable insights once it begins.
