“…Studies have scrutinized this by examining if AC patients score differently on measures of social desirability and defensiveness compared to DYS and ID patients. 11,30 Their results suggest that AC patients do not engage in a favorable reporting bias. Furthermore, the distinctiveness of the two maladaptive coping clusters regarding psychological distress has remained inconclusive.…”

The Multidimensional Pain Inventory (MPI) is a widely used instrument to characterize distinct psychosocial subgroups of patients with chronic pain: Adaptive (AC), Dysfunctional (DYS), and Interpersonally Distressed (ID). To date, several questions remain about the validity and distinctiveness of the patient clusters and continued scientific attention has strongly been recommended. It is unclear if AC patients experience better adjustment or merely present themselves favorably. Moreover, differences in psychological distress and interpersonal relations between DYS and ID patients are equivocal. The present study is the first to utilize comprehensive informant ratings to extend prior validity research on the MPI. We employed a multi-modal methodology consisting of patient self-report, parallel informant ratings, and behavioral measures. Ninety-nine patients with chronic pain, their partners, and providers participated. They completed measures of patients' psychological distress and social relations. We also systematically observed patients' pain behavior. Results provided strong support for the validity of the AC cluster in that patients' positive adaptation was reliably corroborated by informants. The differentiating characteristics between the two maladaptive clusters, however, remain elusive. We found evidence that DYS patients' distress appeared to be illness-specific rather than generalized; however, both clusters were equally associated with social distress and partner caregiver burden.

“…Moreover, a number of studies (21) have reported clinical results using a five-factor factorial structure, with versions of the MPI in different languages. Cluster profiling proposed by Rudy et al (22) is widely used (6,(23)(24)(25)(26)(27) and implements the five factors in section 1 to categorize individuals based on a biopsychosocial perspective. Because replicating these findings would be of interest, retaining a five-factor structure seems meaningful because it conforms with what is reported in the literature on the MPI.…”

Although three items were removed from the original version of the MPI, the three sections of the Inventaire multidimensionnel de la douleur had good psychometric properties. The results concerning the questionnaire's structure were very similar to those obtained with the original tool and during its translation into other languages. People wishing to evaluate pain in French-speaking populations now have access to a French-language version of the MPI.

“…A number of psychometric tests were performed before initial treatment. The Dutch version of the Multidimensional Pain Inventory (MPI‐DLV) was administered to register pain‐related psychosocial and behavioral aspects [30,31]. Cognitive dimensions were registered with the Pain Cognition List (PCL) [32].…”

Psychological Predictors of Substantial Pain Reduction after Minimally Invasive Radiofrequency and Injection Treatments for Chronic Low Back Pain

Minimally invasive treatment for CLBP leads to significant pain reduction, including potential placebo effects. However, psychologically vulnerable patients, characterized by, among others, reduced life control, disturbed mood, negative self-efficacy, catastrophizing, high anxiety levels, inadequacy, and poor mental health, tend not to respond to this treatment. Patients characterized by a.o. reduced pain and interference levels, positive expectations, and reasonable physical and social functioning, react more favorably. From both a clinical and a financial perspective, psychosocial evaluation and selection of patients seems appropriate, before applying minimally invasive procedures for CLBP.
