Develops an adaptive real-time assessment tool for pain cognitions, suggesting improved monitoring methods in clinical settings.
This study introduces an adaptive, real-time version of the PCS optimized for ecological momentary assessment. By combining IRT-based short forms and computer-adaptive testing, the approach enhances measurement precision while reducing burden in repeated assessments. These findings represent a methodological step toward high-resolution monitoring of PCS-based pain-related cognitions in clinical and mobile health research.
