Summary:
The aim of our study was to examine the relationship between lateralization performance, two-point discrimination, kinesiophobia and pain catastrophizing in patients with chronic low back pain.

Primary Outcome Measures: Lateralization Performance, The Recognize mobile application will be used to evaluate lateralization performance. The evaluation will be made with the hand, foot and back modules of this application. The photos will be shown on a screen. If the photo is from the right side, the person will press the right button and if it is from the left side, the person will press the left button. The reaction time and accuracy given at the end of the application will be recorded. The most accurate response instruction will be given in the shortest possible time, 4 months
Secondary Outcome Measures: Oswestry Disability Index, Oswestry Low Back Pain Questionnaire will be used to evaluate functional limitations in daily life activities of patients with low back pain. This questionnaire has 6 sections with scores ranging from 0 to 5 for each question. It consists of 10 sections including pain intensity, personal precautions, lifting objects, walking, sitting, standing, sleeping, sexual life, social life, and travel. 0-4 points are considered as no disability, 5-14 points as mild, 15-24 points as moderate, 25-34 points as severe, and 35-50 points as complete disability. The minimum score received from the scale is 0 and the maximum score is 50. A score of 50 indicates the highest level of functional disability, 4 months|Visual Analogue Scale, Visual Analog Scale (VAS) will be used to measure the general pain status of the patients. In addition, the duration of the pain, the localization of the pain (right, left), 4 months|Tampa Scale of Kinesiophobia, The Tampa Kinesiophobia Scale will be used to assess fear of movement. This scale consists of 17 items. A high score indicates a high level of fear of movement, while a low score indicates a negligible level of fear of movement. Each item is scored on a 4-point Likert scale (1-4). The answers and their numerical values are as follows: (1) strongly disagree, (2) disagree, (3) agree, and (4) strongly agree. The scores of items 4, 8, 12, and 16 should be reversed when calculating the total score. The total score obtained by adding the different items can vary between 17-68., 4 months|Central Sensitization inventory, For central sensitization findings, the Central Sensitization Inventory will be used. Part A, consisting of 25 items scored from 0 to 4, will be used. A higher score indicates the presence of more symptoms associated with central sensitization. A cut-off value equal to or above 40 indicates the presence of central sensitization, 4 months|Pain Catastrophizing Scale, The level of pain catastrophizing will be assessed with the Pain Catastrophizing Scale. This scale is a 5-point Likert-type scale consisting of 13 questions and evaluates the feelings and thoughts of the person when experiencing pain, 4 months|Two Point Discrimination, A two-point discrimination device will be used to evaluate two-point discrimination, 4 months
