PiPT in ADSM With MSD

PDI consists of 7 categories of life activity. The participant is asked to circle the number on the scale that describes the level of disability on typically experiences. A score of 0 means no disability at all, and a score of 10 signifies that all of the activities in which one would normally be involved have been totally disrupted or prevented by pain. The total range of score is 0-70; the higher the score, the greater the person's disability due to pain.

PCS is a 13-item self-report measure designed to assess catastrophic thinking related to pain among adults with or without chronic pain. Each item is rated on a 5-point Likert scale, from 0 (not at all) to 4 (all the time). The total range of score is 0-52; a higher score indicates a higher level of catastrophizing. A total score >30 indicates clinically relevant level of catastrophizing.

HADS consists of two separate sub-sections: Anxiety and Depression. Each sub-section contains 7 items, where participants reply with responses that are closest to how he/she has been feeling in the past week with a score of 0-3. The total score range for both sub-sections is 0-21; a score of 0-7 indicates a "normal" range of anxiety, 8-10 = borderline abnormal, 11-21 = abnormal. The higher the score, the more abnormal the participant feels.

FABQ is a self-reported questionnaire consisting of 16 questions scaled from 0-6. FABQ assesses the fear-avoidance beliefs of patients with chronic low back pain The total range of score is 0-96; a higher score indicates fear avoidance behaviors. For the purposes of this study, "I have a claim for compensation for my pain" will be excluded due to no relevance to the study.

PSEQ is a 10-item questionnaire developed to assess the confidence people with ongoing pain have in performing activities while in pain. The total range of score is 0-60; a higher score indicates greater levels of confidence in dealing with pain. High scores are strongly associated with clinically-significant functional levels.

Satisfaction with process of care is measured by the "process of care" subscale of the MRPS. There are 8 items in this subscale scored on a Likert scale of 1-5. The total score range is 8-40; the higher the score, the greater the satisfaction.

Satisfaction with the outcome is measured by a single item derived from COMI: "If you had to spend the rest of life with the symptoms you have right now, how would you feel about it?". The total range of score is 0-10; the higher the score, the worse one feels about the outcome.
