Spine, 07/01/09
Marty M et al. - For CLBP patients, overall assessment of pain intensity of the day at evening is accurate to assess pain on 1 day. Overall assessment of pain intensity of the day is very close with usual pain. Furthermore, 24 and 48 hours remembered pain intensity are not accurate measures. Recalls of pain on the 7 or 28 last days were very dependant of the pain intensity of the day of the assessment. These findings could contribute to improving pain intensity assessment in CLBP patients avoiding multiple assessments, especially during clinical trials.
