Purpose To assess Parkinson’s disease (PD)-related pain using the Chinese translation of King’s Parkinson’s disease Pain Scale (KPPS). Patients and Methods A cohort of 200 patients with primary PD was recruited for this study. Their demographic and clinical features, including age, disease duration, levodopa equivalent daily dose (LEDD), and scores on the Unified Parkinson’s Disease Rating Scale-III (UPDRS III), Hoehn-Yahr Scale (H&Y), Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE), Activities of Daily Living Scale (ADL), Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HAMD), Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale (HAMA), Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) and KPPS, were recorded. Results The prevalence of PD-related pain was 44.5%. Among the patients with PD-related pain, the average KPPS score was 41.2 ± 26.8. Pain was most commonly located in the lower limbs (60.7%), upper limbs (22.5%) and waist (21.3%). The most common pain type was musculoskeletal pain (68.5%). Compared with the PD group without pain, the PD group with pain had a longer disease duration ( p = 0.022), higher LEDD ( p = 0.008), higher UPDRSIII score ( p = 0.018), higher H&Y stage ( p = 0.003), higher HAMD score ( p < 0.001), higher HAMA score ( p < 0.001), lower ADL score ( p = 0.046) and higher PSQI score ( p < 0.001). PD-related pain was correlated with the H&Y stage and the PSQI score ( p < 0.05). Cut-off points of 0, 34, and 70 were obtained to discriminate pain severity levels between no pain, mild, moderate, and severe pain, respectively. Conclusion Chinese version of KPPS is not only an easy tool for characterization and scoring of pain in PD patients but also has the ability to distinguish between different levels of pain severity.

“…In a study in Bulgaria, the Cronbach's alpha value obtained in 162 patients with idiopathic Parkinson's disease was 0.75 and in the stability analysis using the ICC, the value was 0.92, very similar to data found in the current study (ICC 0.99) (22) .…”

“…The domains with lower pain scores were related to chronic pain, orofacial pain and radicular pain, similar to another KPPS scale validation study of the Bulgarian population, in which a relationship was also identified between domains of lower pain scores and chronic pain; discoloration, edema/swelling and orofacial pain. The most common type of pain is musculoskeletal, regardless of the instrument used to assess specific pain for PD ( 22 ) .…”

Objectives: to assess the evidence of reliability and convergent construct validity of the King’s Parkinson’s Disease Pain Questionnaire. Methods: psychometric study of 75 older adults with Parkinson’s disease. The instrument was applied by two researchers separately and reapplied by one researcher 15 days later. In terms of reliability, internal consistency was assessed using the Cronbach’s alpha test and stability using the intraclass correlation coefficient. Scores of the King’s Parkinson’s Disease Pain Questionnaire were compared to those of the Geriatric Pain Measure in the assessment of construct validity. Results: the mean Cronbach’s alpha obtained between the three assessments was above 0.60, the intraclass correlation between the three assessments was above 0.90, and there was a weak but significant correlation between the two applied scales. Conclusions: the instrument showed adequate evidence of convergent construct validity and reliability, and can be used in clinical practice.

Objectives: To examine convergent and divergent validity of the King’s Parkinson’s disease Pain Scale – Swedish translated version, and to determine the prevalence of pain according to scale domains in persons with Parkinson’s disease.Design: Cross-sectional, validation study.Patients: Ninety-seven persons with Parkinson’s disease.Methods: The pain scale was translated into Swedish by an accredited company, and permission was granted to use the resultant version. Participants completed the rater-administered The King’s Parkinson’s disease Pain Scale – Swedish version, the visual analogue scale (pain), Parkinson’s Disease Questionnaire (bodily discomfort subscale), MiniBESTest and Walk-12G. Spearman’s rank correlation coefficient was used to assess the strength of associations.Results: The mean (standard deviation) age of participants was 71 (6.1) years, 63% were male, and 76% presented with mild disease severity. The mean (standard deviation) The King’s Parkinson’s disease Pain Scale – Swedish version score was 7.84 (12.8). A strong (r = 0.65) and moderate (r = 0.45) association was found between the newly-translated version and visual analogue scale (pain) and Parkinson’s Disease Questionnaire – bodily discomfort subscale, respectively. Weak associations were found between the newly translated version and divergent measures. Overall pain prevalence was 57%, with musculoskeletal pain being the most common, followed by chronic and radicular pain. Conclusion: This study affirms aspects of validity of the Swedish King’s Parkinson’s disease Pain Scale. Most participants presented with 1 or more types of pain, highlighting the need for targeted interventions. LAY ABSTRACTWhen translating a scale from one language to another, it is important to assess the validity of the newly translated version. The aims of this study were to determine the validity of the newly translated Swedish version of the King’s Parkinson’s disease Pain Scale, and to quantify the number of persons with Parkinson’s disease who have reported pain using the translated version. The Swedish version of the pain scale was found to be closely associated with other pain scales, indicating measurement of the same behaviour. It was further found that 57% of persons with Parkinson’s disease in the study reported at least 1 type of pain, with most subjects experiencing musculoskeletal pain. In conclusion, the newly translated version of the pain scale is a valid assessment tool for pain in this population, and pain is very common in persons with Parkinson’s disease.
