Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Pain Disability Questionnaire (PDQ) is a self-report measure designed to assess the impact of chronic pain on an individual's daily functioning and activities. It was developed by Tait and colleagues in 1990 and has since been widely used in both clinical and research settings. The PDQ consists of 15 items that cover various domains of functioning affected by pain, such as physical and social activities, work, and emotional well-being. Respondents rate the extent to which pain interferes with each activity on a scale from 0 (no interference) to 10 (total interference). Pain Self Efficacy Questionnaires --the Pain Self- Efficacy Questionnaire (PSEQ) is a 10-item questionnaire developed to assess the confidence people with ongoing pain have in performing activities while in pain. The participants rate their confidence from 0 point (not at all confident) to 6 points (completely confident). Total scores are calculated by summing the individual items with a range from 0 point (less self-efficacy) to 60 points (more self-efficacy). The PSEQ is applicable to all persisting pain presentation. A high score indicates greater levels of confidence in dealing with pain. High scores are strongly associated with clinically-significant functional levels and provides a useful gauge for evaluating outcomes in chronic pain patients. Raw scores around 40 (percentile=50) are associated with return to work and maintenance of functional gains, whilst lower scores (for example a raw score of 30, percentile=18) tend to predict less sustainable gains (Adams and Williams, 2003). | — |
