Official title
Investigation of Symptom Severity, Posture, Musculoskeletal Pain, and Physical Activity Levels in Patients With Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease
Overview
This study is a cross-sectional research designed to investigate symptom severity, posture, musculoskeletal pain, and physical activity levels in individuals with gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD).
Detailed description
Symptom severity will be assessed using the GERD-Q and PROMIS GERD scales. Postural assessment will be performed using the Posture Screen Lite application. Musculoskeletal pain will be evaluated with the Visual Analog Scale (VAS) and a body diagram, while physical activity levels will be measured using the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ).
The aim of the study is to determine whether GERD is associated not only with gastrointestinal symptoms but also with functional parameters such as posture, pain, and physical activity level.
Primary outcome measures
- Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease Questionnaire (GERD-Q) [Time frame: 1 day]
- PROMIS GERD Scale [Time frame: 1 day]
- Postural Analysis [Time frame: 1 day]
- Visual Analog Scale (VAS) [Time frame: 1 day]
- International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) [Time frame: 1 day]
