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

TL;DR: Perineal pain at the time of discharge was associated in univariate analysis with higher education level, ethnicity (non-Hispanic white), nulliparity, and longer length of active maternal pushing efforts; however, by 3 months postpartum this difference was no longer present.

TL;DR: The MPQ is a valid, reliable, and sensitive multidimensional measure of cancer pain that showed sensitivity to treatment or known-group effects and showed stability, content, construct, and criterion validity.

Proprioception and rotation range sensitization associated with subclinical neck pain.
TL;DR: Investigating neck proprioception, range of motion, muscle endurance, and self report of pain and disability in patients with subclinical neck pain found that improving strength and rotation range should be investigated as targets of treatment for sub clinical neck pain.

Is mechanism-based pain treatment attainable? Clinical trial issues.
TL;DR: A collaborative research agenda for academic pain researchers and funding agencies, the pharmaceutical industry, and regulatory bodies is described, which should include developing simple methods for assessing pain mechanisms in the clinic and increasing the efficiency of pain assessment methods in clinical trials.

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.

Pain on a surgical ward: a survey of the duration and intensity of pain and the effectiveness of medication

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.
