Patient-reported outcome measures for non-specific neck pain validated in the Italian-language: a systematic review.

Patient-reported outcome measures can improve the management of patients with non-specific neck pain. The choice of measure greatly depends on its content and psychometric properties. Most questionnaires were developed for English-speaking people, and need to undergo cross-cultural validation for use in different language contexts. To help Italian clinicians select the most appropriate tool, we systematically reviewed the validated Italian-language outcome measures for non-specific neck pain, and analyzed their psychometric properties and clinical utility.
