Protocol - Patient Global Impression of Change

Add to My Toolkit
Description

The Patient Global Impression of Change scale is a single, self-administered question asking respondents to rate how their condition has changed since a certain point in time. This protocol was validated in individuals aged 18 years and older who were being treated for chronic pain.

Selection Rationale

The Patient Global Impression of Change is a short questionnaire that has been widely used in clinical trials for chronic pain and provides a responsive and interpretable assessment of how a participant evaluates changes in their status. Being short, it is easy to administer and interpret results, and it is reliable for testing and retesting over a 24-hour period. Additionally, there are strong correlations between patient satisfaction measures and results from this protocol.
