Specific Instructions

The Brief Pain Inventory© is a proprietary tool and as such may have an associated cost. This cost is dependent on whether the use of the tool is part of individual clinical practice or academic research. If academic research, the funding source of the research and the language version of the Brief Pain Inventory© are cost-determining factors.

Protocol

Summary of the short form of the Brief Pain Inventory

The short form of the Brief Pain Inventory (BPI)© is a widely used questionnaire in clinical trials in which participants experience pain due to acute or chronic diseases/conditions. These diseases and conditions include but are not limited to low back pain, osteoarthritis, gastrointestinal diseases, cardiovascular conditions, musculoskeletal diseases, and cancer. The Brief Pain Inventory© is a self-administered questionnaire regarding the presence, severity, and localization of pain and the degree of impact on daily functions because of pain. The time period for the majority of questions on the Brief Pain Inventory © is the last 24 hours. The Brief Pain Inventory© pain assessment is done by the respondent selecting a number on a pain rating scale of 0 (no pain) to 10 (pain as bad as you can imagine), whereas the assessment of impact on functional ability is done by the respondent selecting a number on a rating scale of 0 (does not interfere) to 10 (completely interferes). Although there is no scoring algorithm in the form, the Brief Pain Inventory Users Guide© contains scoring information, which details how to score the respondents pain intensity (severity) and the impact of pain (interference) on functioning.
