The Effect of Priming of Questionnaire Content on Grip Strength in Patients With Hand and Upper Extremity Illness
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Standard PCS, Grip Strength, and 1 other intervention for Hand and Upper Extremity Illness. Completed, enrolled 122 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Objectives: To determine the association between priming and measurements of hand function such as grip strength Primary null hypothesis: There is no difference in grip strength (best of three attempts) as a percent of the opposite hand between patients that complete the standard Pain Catastrophizing Scale (PCS) compared to patients that complete the positively adjusted PCS. Secondary null hypotheses: There is no difference in grip strength (last of three attempts) as a percent of the opposite hand between patients that complete the standard PCS compared to patients that complete the positively adjusted PCS. There is no difference in grip strength (best of three attempts) before and after completing the questionnaires between patients that complete the standard PCS compared to patients that complete the positively adjusted PCS.
