疼痛相关的干扰功能的有效措施，可以作为有用的结果措施，在急需的临床试验的疼痛治疗多发性硬化症（MS）的人。本研究旨在探讨两种疼痛干预措施在多发性硬化症和慢性疼痛患者中的心理测量学特性。修改版本的干扰量表的简明疼痛量表（BPI）和残疾量表的分级慢性疼痛量表通过邮寄调查管理187个社区居住的MS的人。数据从125名参与者报告疼痛进行了分析。虽然这两个措施表现出良好的内部一致性，在当前的样本中，关于结构和并行效度的证据更强的BPI干扰量表的修改版本。这些结果提供了初步支持的可靠性和有效性的修改版本的BPI干扰量表的MS和慢性疼痛的人。
Valid measures of pain-related interference with functioning could serve as useful outcome measures in much needed clinical trials of pain treatments for persons with multiple sclerosis (MS). The purpose of this study was to examine the psychometric Properties of two pain interference measures in persons with MS and chronic pain. Modified versions of the Interference scale of the Brief Pain Inventory (BPI) and the Disability scale of the Graded Chronic Pain Scale were administered via a mailed survey to 187 community-dwelling persons with MS. Data from the 125 participants who reported pain were analyzed. Although both measures demonstrated excellent internal consistency, in the current sample, evidence regarding the construct and concurrent validity was stronger for the modified versions of the BPI Interference scale. These results provide preliminary support for the reliability and validity of modified versions of the BPI Interference scale in persons with MS and chronic pain.
