Validity, Reliability, and Assessment Sensitivity of the Japanese Version of the Short-Form McGill Pain Questionnaire 2 in Japanese Patients with Neuropathic and Non-Neuropathic Pain

Abstract

These findings suggest that the reliability and validity of the SF-MPQ-2-J are excellent, and the SF-MPQ-2-J represents a cross-cultural equivalent to SF-MPQ-2. Consequently, the latter is suitable for research and clinical use, and for discriminating neuropathic pain from non-neuropathic pain.
