Our primary outcome was the measure ’s minimal important difference ( MID ) .
Conclusions In this focused evidence review , the most evidence on key psychometric properties in chronic musculoskeletal pain population s was found for the ODI , RMDQ , SF-36 BPS , NRS , and VAS .
Background Developing successful interventions for chronic musculoskeletal pain requires valid , responsive , and reliable outcome measures .
The Minneapolis VA Evidence -based Synthesis Program completed a focused evidence review on key psychometric properties of 17 self-report measures of pain severity and pain-related functional impairment suitable for clinical research on chronic musculoskeletal pain .
Comparative Responsiveness of the PROMIS Pain Interference Short Forms, Brief Pain Inventory, PEG, and SF-36 Bodily Pain Subscale
Purpose : To compare the sensitivity to change and the responsiveness to intervention of the PROMIS Pain Interference short forms , Brief Pain Inventory ( BPI ) , 3-item PEG scale , and SF-36 Bodily Pain subscale in a sample of patients with persistent musculoskeletal pain of moderate severity . Methods : St and ardized response means , st and ardized effect sizes , and receiver operating curve analyses were used to assess change between baseline and 3-month assessment s in 250 participants who participated in a r and omized clinical effectiveness trial of collaborative telecare management for moderate to severe and persistent musculoskeletal pain . Results : The BPI , PEG , and SF-36 Bodily Pain measures were more sensitive to patient-reported global change than the PROMIS Pain Interference short forms , especially for the clinical ly improved group , for which the change detected by the PROMIS short forms was not statistically significant . The BPI was more responsive to the clinical intervention than the SF-36 Bodily Pain and PROMIS Pain Interference measures . Post hoc analyses exploring these findings did not suggest that differences in content or rating scale structure ( number of response options or anchoring language ) adequately explained the observed differences in the detection of change . Conclusions : In this clinical trial , the BPI and PEG measures were better able to detect change than the SF-36 Bodily Pain and PROMIS Pain Interference measures
