“…Patients classified as having a biomedical condition only (group I) and/or those that tend to be classified as Adaptive Copers may benefit from additional medical testing and interventions. For those with pain associated with psychological factors (with or without the concomitant presence of biomedical conditions) and/or those classified as Dysfunctional or Interpersonally Distressed, treatment may be directed away from possibly harmful or unnecessary medical interventions and toward psychosocial treatments (30). Furthermore, the relationship of the diagnostic system with the cluster analysis results provides additional evidence to the construct validity of the cluster analysis.…”

The CPEQ, either the original or modified version, yields reproducible results consistent with the results of other studies. This technique may usefully classify chronic pain patients, but more work is needed to determine the meaning of the CPEQ clusters, what psychological or biomedical variables are associated with CPEQ constructs or clusters, and whether this instrument may assist in treatment planning or predict response to treatment.

Pain disorder (PD), as referenced in the DSM‐IV‐TR , “is characterized by pain that is the predominant focus in the clinical presentation and is of sufficient severity to warrant clinical attention. In addition, psychological factors are judged to play an important role in pain's onset, severity, exacerbation, or maintenance.” Some authors voiced concerns and criticisms regarding the DSM‐IV criteria for PD; specifically, that they are too broad, diagnostically unreliable, and therefore rarely used in clinical practice or research. With DSM‐5 , PD was no longer listed as a separate diagnostic entity but was designated as a specifier (i.e., for people whose somatic symptoms predominantly involve pain) in the category of somatic symptom disorder (SSD). Although there is a paucity of well‐controlled treatment studies, extant research implicates a number of psychological, behavioral, neuropsychological, and physiological factors in the genesis of PD.
