Turkish Sex Pain Questionnaire Validation for Chronic Pain Conditions
ClinicalTrials.gov Studies
Summary
NIH registered observational study NCT07536672 on ClinicalTrials.gov to validate the Turkish version of the Sex Pain Questionnaire developed by Rafael Ballester-Arnal in 2022. The study evaluates sexual function problems in patients with chronic pain conditions including fibromyalgia, neck pain, and lower back pain. The questionnaire consists of 17 items across two factors measuring sexual dissatisfaction and the effect of chronic pain on sexual life. No regulatory obligations or compliance requirements are imposed by this registration.
What changed
NIH registered a new observational clinical trial (NCT07536672) on ClinicalTrials.gov to establish the Turkish validity and reliability of the Sexual Functionality in Chronic Primary Pain Conditions: Sex Pain Questionnaire. The 17-item questionnaire measures sexual function problems impaired by physical pain in patients with chronic pain conditions.
For affected parties, this study represents a routine clinical research registration with no compliance implications. Healthcare providers and clinical investigators conducting pain management research may reference this registry for methodological guidance on sexual function assessment in chronic pain populations. The study conditions include fibromyalgia, neck pain musculoskeletal, chronic lower back pain, and musculoskeletal diseases.

VALIDITY AND RELIABILITY OF THE TURKISH VERSION OF THE SEX PAIN QUESTIONNAIRE
Observational NCT07536672 Kind: OBSERVATIONAL Apr 17, 2026
Abstract
Although there are many questionnaires used in the literature regarding sexual function and satisfaction, these questionnaires evaluate sexual problems regardless of the chronic pain condition and have not been validated for chronic pain. It has been reported that developing a standard or consensus-determined measure to evaluate sexual health in musculoskeletal pain would be advantageous for clinical practice and research. For this purpose, the only study we encountered in the literature is the Sexual Functionality in Chronic Primary Pain Conditions: Sex Pain Questionnaire developed by Rafael Ballester-Arnal in 2022. The questionnaire, consisting of 17 items, comprises two factors: "Sexual and relationship dissatisfaction" and "The effect of chronic pain on sexual life" and has good psychometric properties (Internal consistency indices of 0.72 and 0.96). This study was planned to establish the Turkish validity and reliability of the Sexual Functionality in Chronic Primary Pain Conditions: Sex Pain Questionnaire, which was developed to identify sexual function problems that are impaired due to physical pain in patients with chronic pain, and to contribute it to the literature.
