description <h4>Introduction</h4>Chronic pain represents a major health issue, affecting the physical and mental health of approximately one in five people worldwide. It is now widely recognized that health professionals should use interventions that meet the needs of people living with chronic pain. Therefore, physiotherapists should attend to patients' perceived needs regarding physiotherapy services, i.e. the needs that are perceived by patients themselves based on their beliefs, values, preferences and expectations. However, previous reviews have mainly focused on health professionals' and experts' evaluations of patients' needs, which may result in inadequate answers to these needs. Therefore, a better understanding of patients' perceived needs could lead to more ethical and higher quality physiotherapy services.<h4>Objective</h4>The aim of this scoping review is thus to explore what is known from the existing literature about the perceived needs of people living with chronic pain regarding physiotherapy services.<h4>Methods</h4>This scoping review will follow Arksey and O'Malley's six-step framework. Medline, Embase, CINHAL, and APA PsycINFO will be used to search the scientific literature. The grey literature will also be searched using Google Scholar, OpenGrey and ProQuest Dissertation & Theses Global (PQDTGlobal). Studies published in English and French will only be considered. Two independent reviewers will perform the selection and extraction processes. Descriptive statistics will be performed to characterize the included studies. Quantitative, qualitative and mixed methods studies will be analyzed and synthetized using convergent qualitative meta-integration. Thereby, we will use the seven steps for convergent qualitative meta-integration proposed by Frantzen and Fetters to transform, analyze and integrate the quantitative and qualitative data.<h4>Inclusion criteria</h4>Included studies will describe the perceived needs of adults living with chronic pain regarding physiotherapy services. Studies focusing on the perspectives of health professionals and rehabilitation services other than physiotherapy will be excluded.
