The Pain Sensitivity Questionnaire (PSQ) was developed to assess general pain sensitivity.
This study aimed to validate the Greek version of PSQ.
The questionnaire was translated into Greek (PSQ-GR) and piloted in a small sample of patients with chronic pain (n = 35). A total of 146 chronic pain patients and healthy volunteers completed the PSQ-GR, the Pain Catastrophizing Scale (PCS), Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) and Central Sensitization Inventory (CSI). To evaluate the test-retest reliability, 36 volunteers completed the PSQ-GR twice over 7 ± 2 days.
Internal consistency was excellent (Cronbach's alpha 0.90-0.96) for PSQ-total, PSQ-minor, and PSQ-moderate. The Intraclass Correlation Coefficient was estimated at 0.90-0.96 for PSQ-total, PSQ-minor and PSQ-moderate and the SEM was 0.59-0.90 for PSQ-total, PSQ-minor and PSQ-moderate approximately. The smallest detectable change was 0.48 for PSQ-total, 0.47 for PSQ-minor and 0.44 for PSQ-moderate. Positive and significant correlations were observed between PSQ-GR and HADS (r = 0.38, p < 0.01), PCS (r = 0.41, p < 0.01) and CSI (r = 0.30, p < 0.01). Statistically significant differences in PSQ-GR scores were identified between the healthy volunteers and the chronic pain patients.
The PSQ-GR is a reliable and valid tool that can assess pain sensitivity in healthy individuals and chronic musculoskeletal pain patients.
疼痛敏感性问卷（PSQ）旨在评估一般疼痛敏感性。
本研究旨在验证 PSQ 的希腊语版本。
问卷被翻译成希腊语（PSQ-GR），并在一小部分慢性疼痛患者（n=35）中进行了试点。共有 146 名慢性疼痛患者和健康志愿者完成了 PSQ-GR、疼痛灾难化量表（PCS）、医院焦虑和抑郁量表（HADS）和中枢敏感化量表（CSI）。为了评估测试-重测信度，36 名志愿者在 7±2 天内两次完成 PSQ-GR。
PSQ 总分、PSQ 轻度和 PSQ 中度的内部一致性非常好（Cronbach's alpha 0.90-0.96）。PSQ 总分、PSQ 轻度和 PSQ 中度的组内相关系数估计值分别为 0.90-0.96，PSQ 总分、PSQ 轻度和 PSQ 中度的 SEM 分别为 0.59-0.90。PSQ 总分的最小可检测变化为 0.48，PSQ 轻度为 0.47，PSQ 中度为 0.44。PSQ-GR 与 HADS（r=0.38，p<0.01）、PCS（r=0.41，p<0.01）和 CSI（r=0.30，p<0.01）之间存在显著正相关。PSQ-GR 评分在健康志愿者和慢性疼痛患者之间存在统计学显著差异。
PSQ-GR 是一种可靠有效的工具，可用于评估健康个体和慢性肌肉骨骼疼痛患者的疼痛敏感性。
