很少有方法来评估慢性疼痛的情感或反应性维度，并且存在心理测量学和实践上的限制。目前的论文报告了疼痛不适量表的开发和验证，这是一个10个项目的工具，旨在满足对疼痛影响的简短和心理测量学上的合理测量的需求。初步证据支持该措施的可靠性和有效性。其内部一致性和重测稳定性系数较高。此外，PDS与其他测量的相关分析和因素分析结果支持其独特性（从疼痛强度测量）和结构效度（表明其与其他疼痛影响测量密切相关）。这些结果支持在需要测量对慢性疼痛的情感反应的情况下使用PDS。
Few methods exist to assess the affective or reactive dimension of chronic pain, and there are psychometric and practical limitations on the methods that do exist. The current paper reports on the development and validation of the Pain Discomfort Scale, a 10-item instrument designed to fill the need for a brief and psychometrically sound measure of pain affect. Preliminary evidence supports the reliability and validity of the measure. Its internal consistency and test-retest stability coefficients are high. In addition, the results of both correlational and factor analyses of the PDS with other measures support its distinctiveness (from measures of pain intensity) and construct validity (as indicated by its close association with other measures of pain affect). These results support the use of the PDS in situations where a measure of the affective response to chronic pain is needed.
