TLDR
The SF‐MPQ shows promise as a useful tool in situations in which the standard MPQ takes too long to administer, yet qualitative information is desired and the PPI and VAS are inadequate.Abstract:
A short form of the McGill Pain Questionnaire (SF-MPQ) has been developed. The main component of the SF-MPQ consists of 15 descriptors (11 sensory; 4 affective) which are rated on an intensity scale as 0 = none, 1 = mild, 2 = moderate or 3 = severe. Three pain scores are derived from the sum of the intensity rank values of the words chosen for sensory, affective and total descriptors. The SF-MPQ also includes the Present Pain Intensity (PPI) index of the standard MPQ and a visual analogue scale (VAS). The SF-MPQ scores obtained from patients in post-surgical and obstetrical wards and physiotherapy and dental departments were compared to the scores obtained with the standard MPQ. The correlations were consistently high and significant. The SF-MPQ was also shown to be sufficiently sensitive to demonstrate differences due to treatment at statistical levels comparable to those obtained with the standard form. The SF-MPQ shows promise as a useful tool in situations in which the standard MPQ takes too long to administer, yet qualitative information is desired and the PPI and VAS are inadequate.read more

Decreased Central μ-Opioid Receptor Availability in Fibromyalgia

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that FM patients display reduced MOR binding potential within several regions known to play a role in pain modulation, including the nucleus accumbens, the amygdala, and the dorsal cingulate, which indicates altered endogenous opioid analgesic activity in FM.

TL;DR: This study confirms previous findings that duloxetine at 60 mg QD and 60 mg BID is effective and safe in the management of diabetic peripheral neuropathic pain.

TL;DR: Phantom limb and residual limb pain are common after a lower limb amputation and for most, the pain is episodic and not particularly disabling, however, for a notable subset of participants the pain may be quite disabling.

TL;DR: The increased TRPV1 nerve fibres may contribute to visceral hypersensitivity and pain in IBS, and provide a novel therapeutic target.

The McGill Pain Questionnaire: major properties and scoring methods.
TL;DR: The McGill Pain Questionnaire as discussed by the authors consists of three major classes of word descriptors (sensory, affective and evaluative) that are used by patients to specify subjective pain experience.

The McGill Pain Questionnaire: major properties and scoring methods.
TL;DR: The data indicate that the McGill Pain Questionnaire provides quantitative information that can be treated statistically, and is sufficiently sensitive to detect differences among different methods to relieve pain.

TL;DR: A factor(s) in Klebsiella culture filtrates specifically modifies an HLA-B27 associated cell-surface component that influences lymphocytes from patients with ankylosing spondylitis.

TL;DR: The results show that the patients with pain that persists beyond day 4 comprise a substantial proportion of the patients in a surgery ward, are older, tend to use more words to describe their pain, and are helped less by their prescribed analgesic medications.

Applicability of the McGill Pain Questionnaire to the differentiation of 'toothache' pain.
Miriam Grushka,Barry J. Sessle +1 more
TL;DR: The findings indicate that the MPQ can distinguish between the two types of toothache and suggest that, especially when used along with other standard diagnostic tests, it may be a useful clinical adjunct in the diagnosis of dental pain.
