One hundred and five patients with polyarthritis chose from 14 sensory and 5 affective pain descriptors derived from the McGill Pain Questionnaire (MPQ), and completed visual analogue scales (VAS) for overall and individual joint pain at rest and on movement. The relative frequency of sensory pain descriptor choice varied for the 4 different circumstances of pain. Over one third of patients volunteered affective words not included in the MPQ. This study suggests that conventional overall measures of pain, such as the MPQ, when used for patients with arthritis may neglect differences in pain experience perceived in individual joints and on movement.
105例多关节炎患者从麦吉尔疼痛问卷（MPQ）中选取了14种感觉性和5种情感性疼痛描述词，并完成了静息和活动时整体及单个关节疼痛的视觉模拟量表（VAS）。在4种不同疼痛情况下，感觉性疼痛描述词的选择相对频率有所不同。超过三分之一的患者自发说出了MPQ中未包含的情感性词汇。本研究表明，传统的疼痛总体测量方法，如MPQ，用于关节炎患者时可能会忽略单个关节及活动时疼痛体验的差异。
