“…17 We used several simple validated questionnaires in our study. All of the questionnaires were significantly associated with the poor outcome when the association was evaluated by Pearson's 2 test, suggesting that psychic distress, possible depression, experienced poor work ability, and subjective experience of a notable decrease of activities because of the neck pain reported soon after the injury can predict long-term disability after whiplash injury.…”

“…2,28 To our knowledge, there have been at least 10 statistically derived prognostic prediction tools for WAD (TABLE 2). 1,6,19,21,24,32,33,36,38,54 To ensure these statistically derived CPRs are not unique to the study population or do not reflect chance associations, validation is recommended with a unique population cohort. 2,28 Only 3 of these CPRs have begun the validation process.…”

“…43,44 In addition, it is sensitive to change 45,46 and is predictive of long-term pain following an acute injury. 47 Based on our previous research, 31 we determined that a somewhat modified version of the MPI (MPI-SCI) was appropriate for use with people who experience pain associated with their SCI. Specifically, we found that it was necessary to delete several items related to work and significant other responses to improve the fit of the factor structure.…”

Types and effectiveness of treatments used by people with chronic pain associated with spinal cord injuries: influence of pain and psychosocial characteristics

Study design: Postal survey. Objectives: Because of the high prevalence and inadequate control of pain following spinal cord injury (SCI), it is important to have information about the factors associated with the use of specific pain therapies. We conducted this study to evaluate the ability of pain characteristics and psychosocial factors to predict the use of treatments. Setting: The Miami Project to Cure Paralysis (Miami, FL, USA). Methods: People with SCI (n ¼ 120) were mailed a packet containing a questionnaire with questions regarding demographic factors, pain characteristics, and pain treatments along with a copy of the Multidimensional Pain Inventory. Results: A total of 59% of the respondents had been prescribed treatment or self-initiated efforts to treat pain over the previous 18-month period. The most common treatments used by this sample were massage (26.6%), opioids (22.5%) and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) (20%). The most effective treatments overall were 'physical therapies' with 50% receiving these treatments indicating that their pain was 'considerably reduced' or that they were 'pain free.' Opioids and anticonvulsants were perceived to be the most effective pharmacological agents prescribed (33.3 and 23.8% reporting their pain was considerably better or eliminated, respectively). People using prescription medication reported significantly greater pain severity, more widespread pain, more descriptive adjectives, more evoked pain, greater difficulty in dealing with pain, and more interference and decreased activity levels due to pain, compared to people not using prescription medication. A combination of greater difficulty in dealing with pain, intense pain, presence of evoked pain, and higher level of perceived support from significant others was predictive of taking prescription medication. Conclusion: People taking prescription medication reported significantly more intense pain with neuropathic characteristics that significantly affected daily life and routine activities. A substantial percentage of individuals with pain related to SCI did not obtain significant pain relief from prescription medications. None of the factors assessed predicted the use of nonprescription treatments. The results of this study confirm the inadequacy of available modalities to manage chronic pain related to SCI.

Prediction of Outcome in Whiplash-Associated Disorders Using West Haven–Yale Multidimensional Pain Inventory

Abstract: The MPI may be used at an early stage to identify patients who may develop chronic neck-pain after a traffic accident, at least in those who want a follow-up session after an initial visit to an accident and emergency department.
