目的：本研究建立了颈部疼痛与功能障碍量表（NPAD）的重测信度和结构效度。第一组在治疗前填写两次量表。而第二组在4个月的时间里每月一次完成一次，同时进行一些其他的结果测量。结果：根据第一组患者的数据计算的信度系数（r（2）= 0.93）表明重测信度较高。当NPAD与其他一些疼痛测量方法进行比较时，第二组的结构有效性得到了证明，并发现其具有更大的治疗效果。颈部疼痛和残疾量表因子评分也表明，治疗效果各不相同的四个factor.Conclusions：NPAD是一个稳定的和响应措施，颈部疼痛的患者。颈部疼痛和残疾量表因子评分有助于确定疼痛体验中涉及的特定维度的治疗效果。
Objective: This research established test-retest reliability and construct validity for the Neck Pain and Disability Scale (NPAD),Methods: Two groups of patients with neck pain completed the NPAD. The first group filled out the scale twice before treatment. whereas the second completed it with a number of other Outcome measures once a month for 4 months. for evaluation of treatment with injections.Results: The reliability coefficient (r(2) = 0.93) calculated from the data for the first group of patients indicated high test-retest reliability. Construct validity was demonstrated with the second group when the NPAD was compared with a number of other pain measures and found to have a larger treatment effect. The Neck Pain and Disability Scale factor scores also indicated that treatment effects varied across the four factors.Conclusions: The NPAD is a stable and responsive measure for patients with neck pain. The Neck Pain and Disability Scale factor scores are useful in identifying treatment effects on the specific dimensions involved in the pain experience.
