Use of a Modified Comprehensive Pain Evaluation Questionnaire: Characteristics and Functional Status of Patients on Entry to a Tertiary Care Pain Clinic

Abstract

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.

Evaluation of Psychometric and Linguistic Properties of the Italian Adolescent Pain Assessment Scales: A Systematic Review

“…We also managed to identify 29 tools (Table 3 ) which could be applied not only to adolescents but to a wider population set (0 years to adult age). Further five tools (Table 4 ): Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario Pain Scale (CHEOPS) [ 29 ], Poker Chip Tool (HPCT) [ 30 ], Comprehensive Pain Evaluation Questionnaire Modified (CPEQ-M) [ 31 ], Face Legs, Activities, Cry, Consolability (FLACC) [ 32 ], and Observational Scale of Behavioral Distress (OSBD) [ 33 ] were instead specific for a pre-adolescent population (< 10 years), but could also be used in older patients or in mentally impaired adolescents unable to verbally assess their pain.…”

Demographics, Pain Characteristics and Diagnostic Classification Profile of Chronic Non-Cancer Pain Patients Attending a Canadian University-Affiliated Community Pain Clinic

“…Rather, such a diagnosis required detailed clinical information obtained by history, physical examination and review of files, combined with behavioural observations, and in the absence of positive investigations or findings. The above diagnostic classification has been widely used and described in detail in previous publications from our group [8][9][10][14][15][16].…”

A Clinician’s Perspective on Treating Patients Suffering from Insomnia and Pain

“…Despite the large number of patients who complain of chronic pain there does not exist a uniformly agreed upon manner in which to classify it (Brunelli et al 2014;Renton et al 2012;Nelli et al 2013;Duckworth et al 2009). It is widely believed, however, that each different type of pain necessitates its own taxonomy in order to be properly treated (Viniol et al 2013;Rief et al 2012;Knudsen et al 2012).…”
