Brief summary: Patient autonomy is recognized throughout the world, by caregivers, as a value. The idea of autonomy has been the keystone of the changes accomplished in the contemporary history of health law. It is about respect for everyone to have their own health and to choose the options that correspond to their wishes, their values or their life projects. The recently revised definition of pain specifies that it is "an unpleasant sensory and emotional experience associated with, or resembling that associated with, actual or potential tissue damage". In this, pain is always a personal experience that is influenced to varying degrees by biological, psychological and social factors. The High Authority of Health considers pain as chronic is considered when it is persistent or recurrent beyond what is usual for its presumed initial cause (most often beyond 3 months), that it responds harm to treatment and that they induce a significant and progressive deterioration of functional and relational capacities. Chronic pain confines patients on a psychosocial level. It is no longer just a symptom, it is even a disease in its own right since 2019 with the new classification of diseases proposed by the World Health Organization.In France, chronic pain concerns 31.7% of French people regardless of its intensity, and 19.9% of French people for moderate to severe pain, which represents 13 million people in total. As with any chronic disease, the patient suffering from persistent pain must develop the ability to adapt to cope with the new situation with which he is confronted. He must be able to acquire knowledge and new know-how related to his pathology and thus finally find a new homeostasis, a new state of health having integrated "the pathological state".

In current practice, this skill is assessed in case of doubt (generally when there is uncertainty about the patient's understanding of the issues and his involvement in the therapeutic project) intuitively, by following a Socratic questioning or from grids like the MacCAT-T. In the pain center, investigators use the MacCAT-T but investigators have not yet systematically measured the benefit and the cost of using this questionnaire in everyday practice. In particular, investigators want to know if the skill is not overestimated by the doctor in charge of the patient.
