Study population: The patients were recruited from a physical medicine and rehabilitation outpatient clinic of Aksaray University Training and Research Hospital, Aksaray, Turkey. The healthy control group was consisting of doctors, nurses, medical secretaries who work in Aksaray University Training and Research Hospital, and patient care providers that have no pain and additional diseases

Brief summary: Kinesiophobia which is described as fear of movement reduces physical activity levels and increases the risk of chronic pain. The investigators consider that kinesiophobia levels are higher in patients with fibromyalgia syndrome and chronic neck pain so that physical activity levels are lower in this patient groups. Because there are not enough studies, the investigators aimed to evaluate kinesiophobia and physical activity levels in this patients.

Detailed description: Objective: To evaluate pain, kinesiophobia, physical activity, depression, disease severity, and fatigue in patients with fibromyalgia syndrome or chronic neck pain and healthy controls.

Design: Cross-sectional study. Setting: Tertiary Health Care Center, Aksaray, Turkey Participants: 30 patients with fibromyalgia syndrome (Group 1), 30 patients with chronic neck pain (Group 2), and 30 healthy individuals (Group 3) were included.

Main Outcome Measures: Outcome measures were Visual Analogue Scale (VAS)-pain and fatigue, Tampa Scale of Kinesiophobia (TSK), Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) Short Form, Fibromyalgia Impact Questionnaire (FIQ), Neck Pain Disability Index (NPDI).
