Clinimetric Testing of Three Self-report Outcome Measures for Low Back Pain Patients in Brazil

Abstract: The results from this study demonstrate that the Brazilian-Portuguese versions of the RMDQ, the FRI and the PSFS have similar clinimetric properties to each other and to the original English versions. Of allthe measures tested in this study the PSFS seems the most responsive. These measures will enable international comparisons to be performed, and encourage researchers to include Portuguese speakers in their clinical trials.

“…DOMS was evaluated by the numeric pain rating scale of 11 points, 0 being no pain and 10 the worst pain possible 26 . Evaluation of DOMS was performed by phone 24, 48 and 72 hours after each session, in which participants were asked to rate their pain intensity at that moment.…”

“…Subjects who had any history of malignancy or spinal fracture, had undergone any surgical procedure in the previous 6 months, had orthopedic or neurological diseases affecting ambulation, or did not understand written and spoken Portuguese were excluded from the study. All the instruments used to assess the outcome measures had previously been translated and adapted to Brazilian-Portuguese versions, and had adequate psychometrical properties [16][17][18][19][20].…”

“…The PSFS is considered reliable, valid, and responsive. 8 The participants also rated their average pain intensity over the last 7 days on a VAS ranging from 0 to 100 mm, with 0 mm representing "no pain at all" and 100 mm the "worst imaginable pain." The VAS is considered a valid and reliable measure of pain intensity.…”
