Spinal Cord Injury Pain Instrument and pain<scp>DETECT</scp> questionnaire: Convergent construct validity in individuals with Spinal Cord Injury

Abstract

In SCI-related pain, both SCIPI and PainDETECT show strong convergent construct validity versus the current IASP-grading system. SCIPI is now optimized from a 7-item to an easy-to-apply 4-item screening tool in German and English. We provided evidence that the scope for PainDETECT can be expanded to individuals with SCI.
