Abstract

Assessing imagery ability could be important for clinicians to understand or speculate on the limit of a patient’s physical ability in chronic pain conditions. We aimed to assess imagery ability that is potentially affected in patients with Familial Mediterranean Fever (FMF). In addition, pain characteristics and associational factors between pain and imagery abilities were examined. Patients with FMF group (n=30) and control group (n=30) were included into the study. Movement Imagery Questionnaire-3 (MIQ-3) was questioned in both groups to assess imagery ability. McGill Pain Questionnaire Form (MPQ) and Pain Catastrophizing Scale (PCS) were used to assess pain. There was a statistically significant difference in all sub-scores of the MIQ-3 imagery levels between FMF and the control group (p<0.05). Mean value for PCS was 23.27 ± 12.52 in which 13 (43.3 %) of the patients had higher scores than 30 indicating catastrophic thoughts. It was determined that the imagery scores of the patients with FMF were lower than the control group. Patients who had catastrophic thoughts showed more scores in IVI scores indicating that the attention processes of these patients to their bodies might be affected. Further large-scale, long-term, prospective, randomized-controlled studies are needed to confirm these findings.

家族性地中海热患者的疼痛特征和想象能力

评估想象能力对于临床医生了解或推测慢性疼痛患者的体能极限非常重要。我们旨在评估家族性地中海热（FMF）患者可能受到影响的想象能力。此外，我们还研究了疼痛特征以及疼痛与想象能力之间的关联因素。研究纳入了家族性地中海热患者组（30 人）和对照组（30 人）。两组患者均接受了运动意象问卷-3（MIQ-3）以评估意象能力。麦吉尔疼痛问卷表（MPQ）和疼痛灾难化量表（PCS）用于评估疼痛。在 MIQ-3 想象水平的所有分项中，FMF 组与对照组的差异均有统计学意义（P<0.05）。PCS 的平均值为 23.27 ± 12.52，其中 13 名患者（43.3%）的得分高于 30 分，这表明他们有灾难性的想法。结果表明，FMF 患者的意象得分低于对照组。有灾难性想法的患者的意象得分更高，这表明这些患者对身体的注意过程可能受到了影响。要证实这些研究结果，还需要进一步开展大规模、长期、前瞻性、随机对照研究。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Imagery Research in Sport and Physical Activity is the first peer-reviewed journal devoted to research on the role of imagery in sport, physical activity, exercise, and rehabilitation settings. Imagery, also referred to as cognitive enactment or visualization, is one of the most popular performance enhancement and rehabilitation techniques in sports and physical activity. Journal editors Craig Hall (University of Western Ontario) and Sandra Short (University of North Dakota) are recognized leaders in the field, and the journal’s editorial board represents leading institutions in the U.S., U.K., and Canada. The single destination for all imagery-related research in sports and in physical activity, the Journal of Imagery Research in Sport and Physical Activity is an indispensable tool for scholars and practitioners of imagery, sports science, kinesiology, physical education, and psychology Criteria for publication will include: - Outstanding quality; likely to be widely read and highly cited; - Relevance to the area; - Contribution to the advancement of imagery research; - Interest to specialists in the field and accessible to researchers with interests outside the immediate topic of the paper; - Readability and presentation.
