Overview

Systematic review evaluates psychometric properties of pain-related avoidance instruments, indicating mixed quality evidence.

Key Points

  • MAIN FINDING: Only two versions of the Chronic Pain Coping Inventory met recommended standards among the 20 questionnaires analyzed.
  • KEY EVIDENCE: Out of 703 records screened, 140 articles were included, but evidence on measurement error was limited.
  • APPROACH: The review followed COSMIN guidelines, researching various databases and grey literature from inception to January 2024.
  • SIGNIFICANCE: Findings indicate a need for improved measurement tools to assess pain-related avoidance in chronic pain populations.
