“…An excellent internal consistency was obtained with the Cronbach’s alpha for PSQ-S-total, PSQ-S-moderate, and PSQ-S-minor. The results obtained were similar to those found for the original, Norwegian, French, Chinese, Korean, Iranian, Dutch, and Polish versions [ 40 , 41 , 42 , 43 , 44 , 45 , 46 ].…”

“…Compared with other PSQ validations, the structure of the items remained as in most of them, although some cultural adaptations in several items had to be made (such as in the Chinese version of the PSQ [ 41 ]). In addition, the participants to perform our validation consisted of healthy participants, as in all the other adaptations of the questionnaire (Norwegian, German, French, Chinese, Iranian, or Dutch versions [ 38 , 40 , 41 , 44 , 45 , 46 ]). Nevertheless, our study also included individuals with FMS, a population whose PSQ studies have not yet been conducted.…”

“…In our investigation, the total, moderate, and minor PSQ-S scores were 4.52 ± 1.47, 5.59 ± 1.59, and 3.46 ± 1.56, respectively, for the healthy population. If we compare the healthy populations of the different versions, the Spanish version showed similar pain scores with minimal differences to those of the German, Dutch, French, Chinese, and Norwegian versions [ 38 , 40 , 41 , 45 , 46 ]. These differences may have been caused by cultural differences between the subjects [ 24 ].…”

“…The other three items (5, 9, and 13) are not taken into consideration because they represent non-painful situations [ 38 ]. Despite the advantages offered by this questionnaire and having been validated in several languages such as English [ 39 ], French [ 40 ], Mandarin Chinese [ 41 ], Polish [ 42 ], Korean [ 43 ], Iranian [ 44 ], Norwegian [ 45 ], and Dutch [ 46 ], it has not yet been cross-culturally adapted and validated in the Spanish language. Consequently, the principal objective of the study was to carry out a cross-cultural adaptation and validation of the Spanish version of the PSQ (PSQ-S) and analyze its psychometric properties.…”

Experimental pain testing requires specific equipment and may be uncomfortable for patients. The Pain Sensitivity Questionnaire (PSQ) was developed to assess pain sensitivity, based on the pain intensity ratings (range: 0–10) of painful situations that occur in daily life. The main objective of this study was to carry out a cross-cultural adaptation and validation of the Spanish version of the PSQ (PSQ-S). A total of 354 subjects (296 healthy and 58 chronic pain patients) filled in the PSQ-S. A subgroup of 116 subjects performed experimental pain testing, including two modalities (cold and pressure), with different measures: pain intensity rating, pressure pain threshold, and tolerance. The validation results showed two factors: PSQ-S-moderate and PSQ-S-minor and, for the total scale and the two factors, an excellent internal consistency (Cronbach’s alpha coefficient > 0.9) and a substantial reliability (Intraclass Correlation Coefficient > 0.8). We obtained strong correlations with all the experimental pain rating parameters, catastrophizing, and depression variables, as well as moderate correlations with anxiety, central sensibilization, and impact on the quality of life. Chronic pain patients received elevated PSQ-S scores compared to healthy controls, and three cut-off values (PSQ-S-total = 7.00, PSQ-S-moderate = 7.57, and PSQ-S-minor = 6.29) based on ROC curve analyses were shown to be able to discriminate between healthy adults and adults with chronic pain. Therefore, PSQ-S may be a simple alternative to experimental pain procedures for clinical and experimental pain research.

“…The Pain Sensitivity Questionnaire (PSQ) was used to measure preoperative pain sensitivity 19 , 20 . The PSQ consists of 17 questions which describe situations in daily life; respondents score their pain intensity for these situations on an NRS by scoring 0 (not painful) to 10 (strongest pain imaginable).…”

Identifying patients at risk is the start of adequate perioperative pain management. We aimed to identify preoperative predictors for acute postsurgical pain (APSP) and for pain at 3 months after surgery to develop prediction models. In a prospective observational study, we collected preoperative predictors and the movement-evoked numerical rating scale (NRS-MEP) of postoperative pain at day 1, 2, 3, 7, week 1, 6 and 3 months after surgery from patients with a range of surgical procedures. Regression analyses of data of 2258 surgical in- and outpatients showed that independent predictors for APSP using the mean NRS-MEP over the first three days after surgery were hospital admittance, female sex, higher preoperative pain, younger age, pain catastrophizing, anxiety, higher score on functional disability, highest categories of expected pain, medical specialty, unknown wound size, and wound size > 10 cm compared to wound size ≤ 10 cm (RMSE = 2.11). For pain at three months, the only predictors were preoperative pain and a higher score on functional disability (RMSE = 1.69). Adding pain trajectories improved the prediction of pain at three months (RMSE = 1.37). Our clinically applicable prediction models can be used preoperatively to identify patients at risk, as well as in the direct postoperative period.

IntroductionThe Pain Sensitivity Questionnaire (PSQ) was developed to assess general pain sensitivity.ObjectiveThis study aimed to validate the Greek version of PSQ.MethodsThe questionnaire was translated into Greek (PSQ‐GR) and piloted in a small sample of patients with chronic pain (n = 35). A total of 146 chronic pain patients and healthy volunteers completed the PSQ‐GR, the Pain Catastrophizing Scale (PCS), Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) and Central Sensitization Inventory (CSI). To evaluate the test‐retest reliability, 36 volunteers completed the PSQ‐GR twice over 7 ± 2 days.ResultsInternal consistency was excellent (Cronbach's alpha 0.90–0.96) for PSQ‐total, PSQ‐minor, and PSQ‐moderate. The Intraclass Correlation Coefficient was estimated at 0.90–0.96 for PSQ‐total, PSQ‐minor and PSQ‐moderate and the SEM was 0.59–0.90 for PSQ‐total, PSQ‐minor and PSQ‐moderate approximately. The smallest detectable change was 0.48 for PSQ‐total, 0.47 for PSQ‐minor and 0.44 for PSQ‐moderate. Positive and significant correlations were observed between PSQ‐GR and HADS (r = 0.38, p < 0.01), PCS (r = 0.41, p < 0.01) and CSI (r = 0.30, p < 0.01). Statistically significant differences in PSQ‐GR scores were identified between the healthy volunteers and the chronic pain patients.ConclusionThe PSQ‐GR is a reliable and valid tool that can assess pain sensitivity in healthy individuals and chronic musculoskeletal pain patients.
