| The Numerical Pain Rating Scale (NPRS) is a segmented numeric version of the visual analog scale (VAS) in which a respondent selects a whole number (0–10 integers) that best reflects the intensity of his/her pain. The common format is a horizontal bar or line. Timepoint: 8th week. Method of measurement: The NPRS takes <1 minute to complete Scores range from 0-10 points, with higher scores indicating greater pain intensity. The NPRS can be administered verbally (therefore also by telephone) or graphically for self-completion.;The BPI-sf is a modification of the Brief Pain Inventory - Long Form, which includes additional questions on demographics (date of birth, marital status, education, employment), pain history, aggravating and easing factors, treatment and medication, pain quality, and response to treatment. Timepoint: 8th week. Method of measurement: The Brief Pain Inventory - Short Form (BPI-sf) is a 9 item self-administered questionnaire used to evaluate the severity of a patient's pain and the impact of this pain on the patient's daily functioning. The patient is asked to rate their worst, least, average, and current pain intensity, list current treatments and their perceived effectiveness, and rate the degree that pain interferes with general activity, mood, walking ability, normal work, relations with other persons, sleep, and enjoyment of life on a 10-point scale.;The WHOQOL-BREF is a shorter version of the WHOQOL. Both were developed by the World Health Organization (WHO) and published in 1995. It has been tested for reliability and validity.
