This paper describes development first-phase implementation...
Abstract Normative data for chronic pain questionnaires are essential to the interpretation of aggregate scores on these questionnaires, both clinical trials and practice. In this study, we summarised from 13,343 heterogeneous patients several commonly used that were routinely collected 36 clinics in Australia New Zealand as part electronic Persistent Pain Outcomes Collaboration (ePPOC) including Brief Inventory (BPI); Depression Anxiety Stress Scales (DASS); Self-Efficacy Questionnaire...
