    ObjectiveNeck pain is a common musculoskeletal disorder, and it affects the quality of life of patients. As an effective and reliable multidimensional measurement tool for neck pain, the Neck Bournemouth Questionnaire (NBQ) has been cross-culturally adapted into multiple languages for clinical practice. The aim of this study was to evaluate the translation procedures and measurement properties of cross-cultural adaptations of the NBQ.MethodsSearches were conducted in the databases PubMed, Web of Science, Embase and Scopus using the keywords: "the Neck Bournemouth Questionnaire," "NBQ," "cross-cultural," and "adaptation." Methodological quality of cross-cultural adaptation processes and measurement properties were comprehensively assessed by the guidelines for Cross-cultural Adaptation Process of Self-Reporting Measures and the Consensus-based Standards for the Selection of Health Measurement Instruments.ResultsThere were 12 adaptations of NBQ in 10 different languages, including Dutch, simplified Chinese, and German. Among these studies, 11 adaptations completed all cross-cultural adaptation procedures. However, significant variations existed in the specific implementation plans, particularly regarding translator selection and expert committee composition. Most cross-cultural adaptations reported internal consistency, reliability, and construct validity. Only one study conducted factor analysis and hypothesis testing. Five adaptations examined floor and ceiling effects with one reporting a floor effect. A few studies reported protocol responsiveness and interpretability.ConclusionsThe Dutch, German, and Urdu adaptations demonstrate comparatively higher quality than other adaptations. Further research should comprehensively evaluate the measurement properties of the NBQ in the French, Portuguese-Brazilian, and Turkish adaptations.Copyright © 2024 Elsevier Inc.
