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.

Abstract
The McGill Pain Questionnaire consists primarily of 3 major
classes of word descriptors--sensory, affective and evaluative--that
are used
by patients to specify subjective pain experience. It also contains an
intensity scale and other items to determine the properties of pain
experience. The questionnaire was designed to provide quantitative
measures
of clinical pain that can be treated statistically. This paper
describes the
procedures for administration of the questionnaire and the various
measures
that can be derived from it. The 3 major measures are: (1) the pain
rating
index, based on two types of numerical values that can be assigned to
each
word descriptor, (2) the number of words chosen; and (3) the present
pain
intensity based on a 1-5 intensity scale. Correlation coefficients
among
these measures, based on data obtained with 297 patients suffering
several
kinds of pain, are presented. In addition, an experimental study which
utilized the questionnaire is analyzed in order to describe the nature
of the
information that is obtained. The data, taken together, 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.
